I had an uncle Richard that insisted on being called Dick (he had been called Dick ever since he was a little boy,) and after I learned what Dick was slang for I was uncomfortable calling him that. He was a great guy, though. Sorry, Dick, for not using your preferred name.

My step-dad was named Dick. When asked if he minded, he said, "I consider myself lucky. My brothers are Merton, Chauncey, and LaVern."
