Could someone tell me why people who's names are Richard are also called Dick?  Or atleast let me know that I'm not the only one wondering this.

I simply do not understand.  I will never name my kid Richard for this reason.  It just seems like the most degrading shit ever for your name to basically be Dick.

same.  theres a guy that lives down the street from me whos name is Richard Head.  Just a fun fact about him.....like 2 years ago his house was hit by a plane (he lives right next to a field) when the pilot tried to make an emergency landing.  Pretty crazy shit, the news team and helicopters were all over my street and the next street.

Come on. You could at least do the research to make sure you spelled it right. It's Butkus.
