My parents chose Richard for me, which I generally go by. Rich in one setting, Richard everywhere else. Never was Rick. My MS advisor used Dick, which I don't care for. Never could get him to change. Other than that, he was fine.
I am feeling ya. I detested being called Shelly and could have cheerfully assassinated all the Beatles for Michelle. I HATE THAT SONG. I gotta say though, the Dick thing has got to get you down. People keep calling me violet instead or vee-o-let, which is how my name is pronounced. I am trying to get it to catch on with my nickname, Vee.
Just be grateful your surname isn't Head
Hand to my heart, I had a cousin called Dick Rose (get it?).
