My wife had an elementary school teacher Richard Weiner who went by Dick. You can't make these things up.

Richard Arthur Assman got more than his 15 minutes of fame due to his name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Assman

No-one believes that I went to school with someone called Ben Deacock, but it’s true.

I still laugh occasionally when I remember an army career video I saw in school which featured (among other officers) a "Major Richard Head".

Major Dick Head must have been praying for a promotion to Lt Colonel.
