Today at work I came across a 30 something guy called Dickon. Who would do that to their child??!!

Hid surname didn't exactly help either, though not sure any would?

(Having looked it up, apparently Dickon is Old English for Richard.)

I like it!

Wouldn't use it though

Clearly not, Travel! Though just because a name appears in literature doesn't mean I'll think it's any less awful.

Is he late 30s? I was at school with a Diccon (spelt like that rather than with a K I think). I didn't think about it at the time but quite like it & certainly wouldn't do a double take if a parent told me that was the name of their DC.
