some people here might be called that without richard being their name, it comes from the way in old english, the R was pronounced with a trill, kinda like a rolling R

"Dick" didn't always have the same alternate meaning. Someone with the nickname Dick was probably an idiot so anyone with the stupidity affliction was labeled "Dick" .
Just because someone says S##T doesn't mean their laxative just kicked in.
