House M.D. and Sherlock Holmes

[petitecuriosity]

I'm none too familiar with the latter, but apparently there are characters in Sherlock Holmes with the names "Greg" and "Jim." So...I'm wondering if these were also inspirations drawn for "Gregory" House and "James" Wilson? (I was already aware of Holmes/House and Watson/Wilson.)

So that at least is probably a co-incidence (or maybe the Sherlock writers named Lestrade after House??)

Ohh. That could be the case. I know a few people who were hoping for a House/Sherlock crossover when House was still on the air.

(Personally, I would have wanted a House/Law and Order: SVU crossover.)
