I personally know a man named "Richard Short" .. no fooling. And he's often
informally referred to at church (dunno where else). But I'd hate to be around
during roll call. He's an older guy who's had a successful career as a
military officer. With a name like that, I guess you either rise above it or
don't.
Consider the American ex-football player Dick Butkus. He *had* to get tough or
else.

P.S. A former employee where I currently work had the name "John Dick". The
story goes that When John's son (whose full name escapes me) was about to go
into high school, he requested of his parents that his last name be legally
changed: they agreed.
