Your name used to be Ramwoozler, before someone came up with the cute nickname, eh?
Ditch wouldn't be any better than Bee-yotch for a nickname. I think the nickname Rick came from Richard, and then from Rick came Dick. And from Ricky, came Dicky. (Dickie is also It is also the name for a piece of knit fabric that is inserted inside a vest to make it look like there's a poloneck sweater under there.)
Lots of names (Billy, Bobby) have -y at the end. It's a diminutive, affectionate ending, (duck-->ducky, doll--->dolly, Sarah--->Sally) and the name just sticks even after the kid grows up.

around the thirteenth century, human beings initiate calling human beings named Richard the call Rick. Hick and dick were 2 nicknames used for Rick. For some reason, Hick did not stick, yet Dick did. therefore, Dick is now a nickname for Richard
