I recently picked up [i]Winseburg, Ohio[/i] by Sherwood Anderson, and I've been thinking about his name ever since. I really like it!

I'm fond of August Sherwood, Eamonn Sherwood, Frederick Sherwood, Oliver Sherwood, Ronan Sherwood, Tycho Sherwood, and William Sherwood.

May I suggest some combos?

Abram Sherwood

Alban Sherwood
Alfred Sherwood
Alonso Sherwood
Arthur Sherwood
Barnaby Sherwood
Charles Sherwood
Clive Sherwood
Daniel Sherwood (I'm not even that fond of Daniel.)
Edgar Sherwood
Edmund Sherwood (YES!)
Emil Sherwood
Ethan Sherwood (I've realized that I really like Ethan, though its immense popularity offends me.)
Eugene Sherwood
Frank Sherwood
Gerald Sherwood
Godfrey Sherwood
Graham Sherwood
Harold Sherwood
Henry Sherwood
Hugo Sherwood
Humphrey Sherwood
Ira Sherwood
Isaac Sherwood
Julian Sherwood
Leofric Sherwood
Leopold Sherwood
Lionel Sherwood (Ooh!)
Milo Sherwood
Milton Sherwood
Nigel Sherwood
Norman Sherwood
Osmond Sherwood
Otto Sherwood

Reginald Sherwood

Wowzers!

I think the following are pretty sweet indeed:

Alaric Sherwood (I don't like Alaric, but it's awesome here)
Arthur Sherwood
Edmund Sherwood (I think you meant to type "YES TIMES TEN MILLION!!!")
Emil Sherwood (fabulous.)
Ethan Sherwood (I also love Ethan, despite its popularity. It's what I would have been named had I been a boy.)
Godfrey Sherwood (I slightly prefer Godric, but no biggie)
Henry Sherwood
Ira Sherwood (lovely!)
Isaac Sherwood
Julian Sherwood
Leofric Sherwood (SUPER COOL! *adds Leofric to list*)
Lionel Sherwood (excellent combo, here!)
Nigel Sherwood (sounds great!)
Otto Sherwood
Philip Sherwood
Theobald Sherwood (I love how Germanic this combo feels)
Ulysses Sherwood (I actually think Sherwood Ulysses sounds better. It's awesome.)
Wolfgang Sherwood
Wulfric Sherwood (super. badass.)

Thanks! This was fun! Glad to know I'm not alone in loving Sherwood. I really find it quite handsome.

Ethan Sherwood is amazing! And I don't especially like Ethan, so to me that makes it a really winning combo.
