We would call him rich or Richie as a baby but Richard would suit an old man. Those names sound like something a privately educated MP would have Smile traditional normal names

I like it, it's a bit different these days.

All the adult Richards we know don't get called Dick.

He may inevitably at school but if he laughs and shrugs it off, any teasing will stop.

It would get shortened to Rich.
