In San Diego there is the perennial Libertarian mayoral candidate Dick Ryder. For some unknown reason his yard signs get stolen by college students (been out of the area 8 years, not sure he even runs anymore).
I will add to the stories.
I did business with a guy named Dick Odor. Really. And his given name was Richard but he did not use it — guess he thought, what’s the use.
Years ago knew a gal whose cousing named her newborn, Randy Organ. Really.
I also know a gal that had an odd olden time first name and a poor middle name. She spent the money to have them changed 30 years ago and after ten years, no one, even in her family, uses her old name.
I have a first name that was not all that common in the fifties, but its more common now and my last name always gets a consonant left out as there is a simpler way to spell it. I’m old enough that its not something I even think about.
