Re: Naming for a Richard?
I'd look at Richard's middle and last names. If that didn't work (because he had no mn and his ln was Schlotzki, for instance) I'd ask him for a couple of names he liked. If that didn't work because he was dead, I'd plant a tree in his memory or do that "name a star" thing.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
