Name Question
This has bugged me for a while and I've never gotten a straight answer.
Why are people named Richard sometimes called Dick?
Most nicknames are just shortened versions of the full names, for example:
Jon is short for Jonathan.
Mike is short for Michael.
Matt is short for Matthew.
Meg is short for Megan.
So how the heck did Dick come from Richard?
