Dick was a hero where I grew up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Trickle

Fortunately for the kid, the chapter on names in Freakonomics said that there's no correlation between a name and the kid's eventual success in life. One example was a family who's father wanted his kids to be successful so much that he named his oldest son Winner. Winner turned out to be a crack dealer and drug addict. The rest of the kids were not much better and by the time the last kid was born the dad had enough. He named the last one Loser. At the time the book was written Loser was either a police or probation officer, I can't remember which, with a supervisory role and very respected in the community. He claimed the name never really bothered him and that most people just called him Lou anyway. Hopefully Miss Alphabet has the same experience.
