I’ve never had a problem with my nickname, it’s what I’ve gone by for 64 years. I used to be kidded about it here and there and my answer is: “I’ve been a Dick all my life and I’m not changing now”, “I’m the only real Dick in the room”, and in my early military career as a Marine sergeant, “Keep it up and you’ll find out what it means to be Dicked”.
The Major Dick name was always taken in the humorous nature with which it was given.
My screenname story is kind of a rant on my profile page
I was angry too when I picked mine
I wish I could change it now
Makes me sound like a lefty troll
