How would you recognize Sherlock Holmes?
Well first off I must say that Sherlock Holmes is not actually a real person, he is a fictional character. but to the point of answering your question, the Victorian Holmes, you would either find him in his book status (neat hair, long face, dear stalker, pipe, ALWAYS with a revolver, and in a rather nice suit) in the film Sherlock Holmes you would find him ( rather scruffy hair, braces crossed over his chest, ALWAYS with a revolver or if he is in a resterant a scruffy suit) very sorry about spelling!. now if it was the modern BBC tv series, (nice suit, no tie, ALWAYS has a revolver, scruffy hair) hope this helped
Did Sherlock Holmes ever say- elementary my dear Watson?
Sherlock HolmesThis is a common misconception, actually. Not once did Sherlock say these words.In the story The Crooked Man, Holmes says: "Elementary," and he often addresses Dr. Watson as, "My dear Watson." Personally, I believe that this quote probably came from one of the early plays or episodes of Sherlock Holmes, and so now everyone naturally associates it with him. (Just a theory, though.)
Is Sherlock a common name?

What makes Sherlock Holmes unique?
This is of course, is an opinion question, and answers will vary, but this is mine: During Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's life, he enjoyed a very high level of popularity for his stories about Holmes, even in countries other than England. At that time, his great success would have been due to Conan Doyle's excellent writing abilities, Holmes' great abilities of deduction that could be used to solve any crime, and the fact that common and poor people of England and especially London could look to Holmes for inspiration, and as a national symbol of pride. But Conan Doyle wrote these stories over a century ago. Why are they still so popular today? Holmes became an icon, his analysis of Watson and other people's habits and activities seemed to them, baffling, but to him it was "Elementary." His deerstalker cap, pipe, overcoat, and magnifying glass came to symbolize detectives and their art through Sherlock Holmes' early popularity. And simply put, people enjoy a good story, especially a mystery. "In our modern time of fast living, modern conveniences, and computerised crime and detection, Sherlock Holmes represents the spirit of an earlier, simpler and more romantic period. Perhaps, as Watson was to him, Holmes is to us "the one fixed point in a changing age." [1] [1] Clive Hopwood? Sherlock Holmes Illustrated copyright 1981 by World International Publishing Limited. Published in Great Britain.
Differences between Holmes and Watson?
Sherlock is smart and perfect. Watson is kindly but not as smart. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created his character Sherlock Holmes modelling him after his teacher in the Edinburgh Medical School, Dr. Joseph Bell. So this character was created out of the elements and faculties of observation, logic, deduction and diagnosis. Dr.Watson was a shadow of Doyle's past inner self from the student days, created as an unpolished rock against which the razor of Holmes' logic could be sharpened. Holmes is pictured as a very detached and reserved person whereas Watson is kind, humane, emotional and social. Watson is not at all a fool or unclever, but he certainly can not raise himself above earthly cares whereas Holmes can abandon food and rest for days if necessary, when he is engaged in a mind blowing puzzle the solving of which needs him being just a weight of nerves. Watson is straight forward and simple and just can not enter the mind of a criminal as his famous companion does. Nor can he invent ingeneous tricks like Holmes to trap adversaries.
