My mom works in a pediatrician’s office and told me the same story a few years back.
I was watching a PBS special the other day and they were interviewing a neurologist by the name of Dick Swaab. Poor bastard.

Who can forget NASCAR sensation Dick Trickle? Check his online store for tshirts proudly proclaiming membership in the “DICK TRICKLE FAN CLUB”.
Someone beat me to Dick Pound.
For the double names, there’s an NPR anchor named Bob Roberts. Dunno what the Bob is short for but its usually Robert.

(NB British slang: to rodger = to have sex. Is this widely used in America?)
A friend of a friend … of a friend swears he knows someone named Clive Oscar Jones. He never thought there was anything strange about his name until he found himself explaining to the Spanish customs officials exactly why he had COJONES stencilled on his luggage.

Ah lighten up, ya buzzkill!
