Oh wow referring to my old comment? xD Yeah, but still! He could of avoided other Richard's lol.

Apparently the name came because people shortened names back then due to have to write everything, and came up with names like "Ric" or "Rich". Which in turn made other nicknames like "Richie", "Rick", and "Ricket". According to the page I'm referencing, people also liked to rhyme names, so someone who was named "Rich" was nicknamed "Hitch". "Richard" - "Ric" gave birth to "Dick".
