Herman Pennik is the sinister mind-reading character from the mystery novel "The Reader is Warned", written by John Dickson Carr under the pseudonym Carter Dickson.
Not the worst name, though a bit more in place on an older man. Sherman is okay too. I really like Herman Melville, so maybe I'm a bit biased.

Herman Cain, black conservative politician who ran for president in 2012.
This name always reminds me of Hermann Van Pels, who hid with Anne Frank during WWII, due to this association, I truly respect this name. And since it's literally "her man" it might be a good name for a ladie's man! I like it!
Herman is one of the few names that are magnificent and dignified from a historical point of view and it instills a sense of confidence and tone of pride to the bearer... I love it so madly.
My great uncle's name is Herman, and I wish I could say he's who I think of everytime I hear this name, but he's not. I can't help but think, Pee-Wee Herman.

It's an ugly, old-fashioned, pompous name, and I'd laugh very hard if I heard a parent shout to their son: ''Herman, we have to leave!'' I'd feel sorry for any kid with this embarrassing name today.
Herman's Hermits was a British rock band in the 1960s. The name Herman came after the band remarked on the singer's resemblance to the character Sherman in Peabody's Improbable History, a supporting cartoon in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, and one member misheard the name as Herman. The group took the name Herman and The Hermits, and it soon became abbreviated to Herman's Hermits.
