You do realize that the short form of Richard is often “Dick”
But then I used to work with a fellow whose name was Harold Cox
He never understood the humor in his name
Did he go by “Harry”?
He did
Most folks couldn’t talk to him with a straight face
It isn’t Tuesday anymore but still, found this on php.net! Mohoho!
That is one of my favorites.

When creating a list of potential names for our children we had to vet them very well due to our surname. We hooted with laughter with ‘Ophelia Cox’! I have a huge list of others.
‘Isaac Cox’ would have been worse

That is absolutely awesome. Like a snippet of Martin Amis’ ‘Money’ from the pov of a programmer.
The following link was in the wonderful b3ta newsletter last week. How someone with the surname ‘Null’ is driving database managers crazy.
If you’re an anarchist and want to slip off the radar, changing your surname to Null might not be a bad idea…
