All this "ooh, it's all elitism and secret handshakes" is more about your inverted snobbery and hurt feelies that someone dared to suggest you might change your practice than anything real. Holmes and Watson are just their names in the books (used by the most casual observers, nothing to do with fandom), and how in hell it hurts or offends you to call them that, I can't understand. It's not a personal criticism. How on earth do you handle everyday life if you take such a hump at something so small?

Do you not say Dickens and Darwin, not "Charlie"? Shakespeare not "Bill"? I'd bet you do.

A polite "Oh, OK" would probably have served you better than all the rude and childish name-calling.

How in hell does it hurt or offend anyone to NOT call them that, I can't understand.
