Sherwood isn't biblical like the rest of the names I posted today but I wanted to add this one. I like this name and I am thinking of using it as the name of a characcter in a novel I am going to write soon. I think it would be cool to see novels with a character with the first name Sherwood. I also love Robin Hood stories and there is a Sherwood Forest in England where the legendary character was said to reside. I am even called the Female Robin Hood by my family because I do Archery. I do Archery so it can help me be better at writing about it as many of my characters use bows and arrows.
