Actually, I always thought ‘Dick’ was more British whereas ‘Rick’ or ‘Ricky’ was more American. I'm open to correction on that one, though.

Even so, I wouldn't want Dick for a nickname, considering the connotations around it……… :-@ (*egon)

That's true. I mean I can't even begin to imagine the name calling Robin aka Dick Grayson got because his nickname was Dick :p (*egon) (*ray) (*peter) (*winston)

Ricky is a name unto itself, not short for Richard. If it is short for everything it would be Ricardo I guess. Which IS a variation of Richard, but still not Richard. The only abbreviations of Richard are Dick and Rich, or possibly Richy.

That's pretty much why Rick and Ricky were also “adopted”, if you will, as nicknames for the english version of Ricardo. Both names mean the same thing, just the languages are different.

This whole thread has become absolutely pointless.

Agreed. The subject has been discussed…and developed into one with unneeded arguing…

What, you thought I was gonna lock it?
