Well, this is entertaining for some people.

I worked with Richard Moore and Richard Johns. Both of whom went by Dick.

So we got emails from Moore Dick and Johns Dick (I once forwarded an email from Johns Dick to my sister's bf, John, and asked that his penis stop emailing me.) We always laugh at what would happen if Dick Wolf, producer of Law and Order worked at my office: I could get emails from Wolf Dick.

Oh, and don't get me started on Richard Wack, network administrator (and thus mass emailer) for my alma mater. Nothing like sending thousands of college students daily emails from a guy named Dick Wack.
I had to stop reading several times so I wouldn't in the middle of my office.

There is nothing wrong with the name. Just like Saki says, it just got used more to describe a portion of body part. Or what ever colorfull metaphore you choose.

Its my dad's name, and my middle name. I am proud to have Dickson as my middle name.

Great thread!!!

With the Beavis and Butthead mentality of America, DICK is a damn funny name.

My son (age 13) almost made fun of a 75 year old guy (named DICK) in rehab... (behind his back though)..... Ben is like... ahahah DICK..hahaha.

that was just 2 weeks ago....
