Re: Rick
Rick is only a nickname to me. I think Richard is likely to maintain a fair bit of popularity and Rick is way more likely to stick around than Dick given common vernacular. I don't think teasing would be a huge issue. I knew a few guys called Ricky growing up, and up through high school they stuck with Ricky. If someone is calling a person Rick the Dick in adulthood, that's just ridiculous.~Anna~

Teasing someone about their name is pretty ridiculous in general, no matter what it is. I was thinking of immature teenagers when I wrote this ;) However if the guy named Rick would be really unpleasant I doubt that even some adults could resist the temptation. Not that I think they would call him that to his face and not that it really matters.

LOL. I had a uncle named Richard nn Dick, and now and then my older sister and I would call him Dick the Dick. He was always very nice to us. We called him that because he took for himself everything that my grandparents had meant to leave to my mother.
