Men named Dick

[6-eyed]

Dick was a fairly common name for a man in much of the 20th century and before. Dick was a short nickname for Richard. But at some point, Dick became synonymous with Penis, and mothers stopped naming their baby boys Dick. I'm not sure at what point that happened, but it was certainly before my generation. I haven't met a single guy named Dick that wasn't a boomer or older. My 5th grade teacher's first name was Dick. And I had a 2nd uncle named Dick, who died of a heart attack while skiing. Names are more common in different generations than others. Some names lose popularity, then they make a return in newer generations. But I don't think Dick will ever make a return.

Makes me wonder if Karen will be forever synonymous with what the meme has become, and go down in history with Dick. Or if the meme will die out and more baby girls will be named Karen once again.

I had a friend named Richard. We solely hung out among our circle of friends and weren't real close but tripped on Mushrooms once. Surprisingly, I don't recall us making any Dick jokes.

From what I remember, Richard did pretty well with the ladies.

There's a girl who makes satire videos in which her baby daughter is called Richard and now that's all I can think of with that name.

I do think Karens will fade out for a while. I guess names often resurge because people suddenly want to keep the memory of their parent or grandparent alive by including it in their children's names.

I have an Uncle Dick.

They don't make it easy for some people do they? I mean you name your kid William, people call him Bill and then there's me that'll call him Billiam his whole life. Stooge. ?

pretty much the same, when i was in college i knew a dick who was in another group that my group would often run into at the same social functions. then he worked next door to where i did, and eventually worked at my company (although he switched his name to rich at that point, but none of us ever called him that). i don't remember any dick jokes either. probably too obvious i guess. he also did alright with the ladies, although from what i hear his dick was neither impressive in size nor hardness.
