Yep. Dick = Richard.
More accurately in many cases, as proved by Richard Cheney. Dick also = Penis.

Dick is just short for Richard. There are far worse names. Of course, only a REAL bastard would call their kid Richard if their last name was something like Small, Little, or Head ;D

*sigh* My daughter married one whose last name is Dick (which just is 'thick' in German), and then they named their daughter Alicia... I have strongly advised to never let my granddaughter travel in Anglo-Saxon countries, or she may be mistaken for a porn-queen...

Yeah, but not a lot of stories involve female dogs crowing at dawn, Kit. Crowning at dawn ? Why dawn for this ceremony ?

Of course, only a REAL bastard would call their kid Richard if their last name was something like Small, Little, or Head ;D In German language, it just means "thick". A totally normal word, just like "thick", no underlying additional meanings. The German comedian "Otto" often made some jokes - often if forms of rhymes - about politicians he doesn't seem to like doing things with their first names ...

That's a relief, I'm sure! ;D
In English, of course, it would lose the 'tee' sound, becoming 'Uh-li-see-uh'
