Re: Rick
in reply to a message by peonini
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.

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.
