Who knows the youngest Dick

[The Crofted Crest]

Once had a client called Fanny Milker

Some of these I have trouble believing

but then I think again and remember that people can be weird so it probably is true

I knew a kid at school known as Diccon. I guess that could be changed to Dick, he was a bit of a Richard!!! He would be 51 now.

Deidre and Daphne is not common these days. What's the youngest Daphne you know?

My Italian friends step daughter is called Daphne, early 20’s

My lecturer at university was called Dick Goodenough.
Always made me chuckle why he chose Dick rather than Richard.

There can’t be many Enoch’s alive. That’s a name with certain connotations.

Exactly why his dog was called Enoch

A cycling mate uses Mick Sturbs as his Strava name.

And from a joke I posted in the "Any good jokes" thread.

Ian Tevvy, brother of The Hollies vocalist.

Did your cycling mate send stories into Terry Wogan by any chance

Not being a fan of Wogan I had to look the connection up, he probably pinched the name from the show, but I doubt it was him, he's too busy cycling and watching Leeds United, both give pleasure and pain.

In the spirit of this thread, I suppose her second name was Taylor?

There was a Jenny Taylor lived 2 doors away from me, I was at school with her son Don

The youngest Dick i know is 70... but his actual name is Clive but goes by Dick to his friends. I have no idea why.

I've just remembered a guy I knew at university. He was universally called "Dick" and I think it was his preferred name. I don't recall his real first name but his surname was Emery.

He'd be mid 60s now. And probably doesn't go by "Dick" any more.

I'm reading (Famous) Five Go On A Hike to my 7yo at the moment, and there are two Dicks in that story! The young Dick that we all know and love, and a grown-up Dick, so to speak. Fnarr fnarr.

Certain names go out of fashion for obvious reasons. My Dad’s friend Dick is 80 today.
It got me thinking whether anyone actively chooses the name Dick these days, when you can be Richard, Rick or Ricky.
The youngest Dick I can think of is Dick Strawbridge 64 ( who I suspect is a bit of a dick)
So over to you. Who knows the youngest Dick. But they have to be known as their main name by choice.

I will also accept Willy and Fanny.

I know a guy who goes by the name Dick at work, although we call him Richie. No idea how that came about, but he's 52.

I know loads of Williams that get shortened to Willie, but here in the west coast that soon changes again to Wullie.

I've another mate who is called Francis and is a guy. You would think he would have had a tough time in the school with that name, but I think as we were brought up with it, we considered it pretty normal compared to the other guy called Leslie. We refer to Francis as Franny.
