Your call was once Ramwoozler, earlier somebody got here up with the lovable nickname, eh? Ditch does no longer be any further efficient than Bee-yotch for a nickname. i think of the nickname Rick got here from Richard, and then from Rick got here Dick. And from Ricky, got here Dicky. (Dickie is likewise it is likewise the call for a chew of knit fabric it relatively is inserted interior a vest to make it look like there's a poloneck sweater decrease than there.) a good number of names (Billy, Bobby) have -y on the tip. that's a diminutive, affectionate ending, (duck-->ducky, doll--->dolly, Sarah--->Sally) and the call merely sticks even after the youngster grows up.
