I'm pretty sure this is a picture of Brent. But maybe that's just me.

Richard is ok. Rich is ok. But why would anyone, in this day and age, choose to call *themselves* Dick? That's the real question here. People aren't named Dick, they choose to be Dick. Why. Why Dick Butkis? Why?

YAY! Ryan wrote a name-related post! I must be wearing off on him.

What's really sad about the issue is this: I'll bet you big money that a good share of those poor little tykes are named after their fathers. What kind of ego does it take to go through life being called "Dick" every day, all day long, and then saddle your tiny, innocent son with the same name? Where's the love? Furthermore, where's the logic? Is it like that song, "A Boy Named Sue," where they give 'em the name to toughen them up? That's the only thing I can think of. It's child abuse if you ask me. But so is naming your kid Pilot Inspector or Jermajesty, and Jason Lee and Jermaine Jackson are still roaming free.

I think that Little Dick is actually Diana Ross. Or maybe Diana is Dick. I dunno, but I think they are the same person. Could you compare those two? nope. I'm gonna do it.

the sad thing is that i like the name richard. i wish you could make your kid somehow nickname immune. like some sort of name forcefield that when people hear it their brain cannot form a nickname. one of my kids is VERY nicknamable with a nickname i hate, and i'm dreading the day.

and no, i didn't name my daughter richard.
