Why do parents name a child 'D1ck' especially those with weird last names?

> Yes, but shouldn't Richard be Rich, William be Will, and Robert be Rob?

Rich > Rick > Dick. Language is like that... it changes over time. If it didn't, we'd all still be speaking Latin or Germanic or something.

This guy in my class was named Jaquon Dick... theyd always ask him if his dad's name was Harry... 😕

I have no scientific proof of this but I think the word "dick" did not used to be associated with the penis. I think people who named their kids Richard/Dick 40 years ago had no idea that dick would be considered profanity. I think the word has just recently become a "bad" word. However I know of a guy named Harry Butts. Now why would you name your kid Harry Butts, b/c even back in the 1800s they had to know what a harry butt was.

All time stupidist name: Roger Lodge (blind date host) ---- his name is freakin' Rog Lodge

I knew a guy who's first name was Richard and his middle name was Dick.

We used to call him Double Dick.
