Mycroft would like to think he's not a complete killjoy.
Ha!
"I let you submerge him in the pond, Sherlock." "But you made me pull him out!" "That's because he was out of air." "You had no proof of that. You're no fun at all!"
This is a pet peeve of mine. It's not a pre-requisite that one's name must start with Q to get the Quartermaster job. And I refuse to believe it was just serendipity.
Yes, yes, I totally agree! I suspect it's people not as familliar with the series who think that Q is an initial and not short for Quartmaster, the way Bond implies M is short for something in Casino Royale.
I did briefly toy with Tarquin (Quin for short) for a bit, but mostly because it sounded snotty enough for a Holmes. And I was trying to avoid using Trevelyan due to the Alec Trevelyan associations, but in the end that was his name and I couldn't find a better one.
If you want something really obscure, you can try here (http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/) as well, but there are no meanings.
