Of course, anything can be a real name. It doesn't depend on what's written in baby name books or anything, it's what a person is called, so even a swear word could be a name.

5herlock would like to add that "Sherlock is an old English name meaning 'Bright Hair' & made popular by A.C-D. It was rare but known and used previous to the Sherlock Holmes stories."
