Sorry for posting so many today; I've been bored at work, and have simply been too infatuated with this site as of late to do much else.

My name comes from two; tiny and gentle
Yet I'm described by my haters as quite temperamental
My father is named for those two 'fore him
And I'm a good son; have his pockets filled to the brim
I started out strong, was beaten back, but kept growing
Little old Sherman couldn't stop you from knowing...

...who I am?

Spoiler for a lead?
Sherman apparently originally meant "one who shears," as in wool. Wool keeps growing, getting sheared, etc., but I don't know how the name comes from "tiny" and "gentle"

That'd be a step in the wrong direction there, Mick. I like the deep analysis though.
