Actually, I always thought ‘Dick’ was more British whereas ‘Rick’ or ‘Ricky’ was more American. I'm open to correction on that one, though.

Even so, I wouldn't want Dick for a nickname, considering the connotations around it……… :-@ (*egon)

Ricky is a name unto itself, not short for Richard. If it is short for everything it would be Ricardo I guess. Which IS a variation of Richard, but still not Richard. The only abbreviations of Richard are Dick and Rich, or possibly Richy.

That's pretty much why Rick and Ricky were also “adopted”, if you will, as nicknames for the english version of Ricardo. Both names mean the same thing, just the languages are different.

Agreed. The subject has been discussed…and developed into one with unneeded arguing…
