Not trashy exactly, but not a good idea either. Boys turn into men. Ricky is a baby nn which mostly falls out of use by the time little Ricky hits his tenth birthday. And you will naturally want your son to live a longer life than that! Being a boy who never grows up is fine for Peter Pan, but not for real people; plus, through all his long life, people will be asking him what it's short for, or just calling him Richard.

Emeric is too close to emetic for me, but Richard has strength and dignity. Ricky has neither.
