I think that
Richard is a very handsome name, and I’m a little saddened that it’s uncommon now. I only know of two Richard’s my age; one goes by
Richie, the other uses no nickname. I don’t like any nicknames for
Richard, except for
Rick and
Ricky; I consider it for a son, if my great-uncle didn’t have this name (and went by
Ricky, whereas I have a brother with a rhyming name to
Rick). Overall, I’d say that
Richard is a 10/10 name, of course without being called
Dick.
