Went to college with a Richard Stiff, Jr.. He went by Rick. His dad went by Dick. He said he had no trouble until he joined the Marine Corps...DI gave him hell about it. When I was in high school there was a basketball ref in the area by the name of Dick Lickty, honest to god...Every kid at the game(s) would die laughing when they announced him.

My wife has a cousin named Richard, and his father is also Richard. Both went by the name Dick. Then one day, they arrived together at a family gathering. As they walked in the door, his elderly aunt happily announced to everyone, "Big Dick and Little Dick are here!". Little Dick decided that from that point forward he would be known as Richard. But not Little Richard.

Also, there is a guy named Dick Stillhard. One of my favorite funny names.

I remember Dick Assman was a "funny name" that Letterman's writers dredged up for one of his segments.

When we were interns in university, a buddy of mine...last name Cox, was often teamed up with clinician....Dr. Dick. When greeting patients in the waiting area, the intern would have to introduce himself and the clinician to his/her patient.......it was always hilarious hearing the response from the patient and others in the waiting area:

"Hello Mrs. XXX, I am intern COX and this is Dr. DICK!"

Bahahahahaha!

My friend, Ricky, tells the story of the first day of second grade, when the teacher, calling role for the first time, asks him if he goes by "Dick".

Ricky says, "I had to fight every kid in that class!"

As long as his last name isn't Head, I think all is well.
