i was in a used bookstore that was selling some old LP records and discovered this guy. maybe not the best cover art but you gotta love his name--especially since he intentionally used the nickname for richard...

At last my former nickname has been converted entirely into an obscenity. I was named after an uncle who was always called by the nickname. He was a decorated hero of WW II, though I was named after him in 1937.
The slang meaning of the nickname was common when I was a child, but no one found it odd to call me by the same nickname.
By the time I was a teenager I caught a certain amount of teasing, teenagers being cruel as they are, but when I was 15, i was 6' 4" (193 cm) and 175 lb (80 kg), so people learned they could pronounce my nickname with a straight face.
Until the end of 2009 I lived on a US military base in the central Pacific. There were only a few soldiers there, almost all the 1500 residents were American civilians. Those over 40 or 50 called me by my nickname--they were used to it. Those under 35 all called me "Richard". They were clearly embarrassed by the nickname.
I think it all began with the Tudors' campaign of defamation against Richard III of England, from whom Henry VII (Tudor) won the crown in battle in 1485. There's an old ballad, "Crooked D1ck, the Bastard King of England".
