Does anyone know the proper way to write Sherlock Holmes in katakana? If there even is a proper way, that is.

The way I've been doing it to entertain myself on Japanese homework is "shaarokku homuzu" - シャーロックホムズ - but he insists that that's wrong and that it should be sherokku hoomuzu instead - シェロックホームズ - or possibly even with a ru in there to make hoorumuzu - ホールムズ - though I think that sounds ghastly. You don't say the L in Holmes, for heaven's sake, you don't need it :P

Soooo... is there anyone out there who can settle this?

I have no idea if there's a proper way, but your way sounds much better.
