I know this isn't a comedy, but every time I read the name "Dick" I can't help giggling. The idea that they would name the main guy in a gay story "Dick" just strikes me as super silly.
Maybe the author wanted to make the American setting feel more authentic, since Dick is an American nickname for Richard. lenalena
Possible, but it's hard to believe they didn't know it's also a nickname for the penis. Besides, most of the Richards I know go by Rick or Rich for that very reason.
