I absolutely loathe this name with a flaming passion. It sounds like the surname of obnoxious jerks, and it sounds like the first name of obnoxious jerks. The name is flat out ugly, and it's so surname-y that I would call it pretentious if it didn't make the think of lower middle class people. This is also the first name of author Sherman Alexie, and guess what, he's an obnoxious jerk! He has really ruined this ugly name even more.

Colonel Sherman T. Potter, named after the famous general, was the CO of the fictional MASH 4077.
