[Opinions] Re: Wdyt of Ricky?
It was my favorite uncle's name, but his full name was Richard. Ricky is childish to me, and apparently to him too because he tried to get people to call him Rick; it just didn't take with friends and family, but when he met new people he introduced himself as Rick.I wouldn't say it's trashy, but it doesn't sound like a mature man's name, or an educated one's name for that matter.There's jokes that go around like how a certain percentage of Nascar drivers are named Ricky or Rick or Jeff. And that serial killers are disproportionately named Ricky Lee or Wayne.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
