Richard

原Richard Perry is an American record producer. Perry began as a performer in his adolescence, but shifted gears after graduating college and rose through the late 1960s and early 1970s to become a highly successful and popular record producer with over a dozen gold records to his credit by 1982. From 1978 to 1983, he ran his own record label, Planet Records, which scored a string of hits with the main act on its roster, pop/R&B group The Pointer Sisters. After Planet's sale to RCA Records, Perry continued his work in the music industry as an independent producer. With hit records stretching from the 1960s through the 2000s, his more successful modern releases include albums by Rod Stewart and Carly Simon.

原Be careful about nicknames. You don't want your son to be "Dick."

原I have a brother called Richard and also my nephew, although he gets called RJ. In the area I live I have only met one other Richard so it's not that common here. I do really like it. It's more of a classic name which is generally the kind of names I like.

原It's my name and I liked having it my whole life. I'd never want to change it period. I like it because it's not common, yet it comes across as standard, not odd. Rich, Richie and Ritchie are fine. I don't like the variants Rick or Ricky (nothing wrong with them, just didn't like the hard k sound) and I've never been called Dick.

原I really like the actor RICHARD Armitage. He fits this name well. Dark handsome and blue eyed. I do associate this name with more middle aged guys 45-55 though. The name is sophisticated sounding.

原Aw, it's kind of sad this is no longer in the top 100. It's not my favorite, but its still a classic, mature name you can't go wrong with. It sure beats stuff like Liam, Kayden, or Brody. Personally, I like the nickname Ricky :)

原The nickname Richie brings up the image of a cute little boy with shaggy dark hair and blue eyes. Then as a teenager, he could go by Rich, and into adulthood, the name Richard would go quite nicely on resumes! It's a good growing up name, and not as common these days. Like the previous poster said, I'd rather meet a little Richard than a little Aiden/Brayden/Jayden any day.

原It's kind of boring, stuffy, and old fashioned. But I'd rather meet a little Richard than a little Jayden/Braden/Caden any day.

原It's a beautiful and royal name, but more than that, it reminds me almost immediately of Richard Chamberlain, a great actor, known from Thornbirds.

原This is the name of Richard Alpert, a character from the TV-series LOST.

原Richard is one of those "rise-and-fall" names in which it was getting more popular for many decades, stayed popular for a few decades, then slowly gotten less and less popular. My own name, Jonathan, is similar.

原I personally like this name because it's more like in the past and I am into that sort, and to see that it is of Ancient Germanic and the others. It's a bit of a thrill to find out what your name's history is.

原Can't believe no one's mentioned Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker.

原I really like the name Richard, but the thing that would stop me from using it for my children is the nickname Dick. Lovely name anyways.

原Richard Krajíček, a tennis player, born 6th December, 1971 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

原I love this name! It conveys strength and endurance.

原Whoa! Look, I'm all for people having opinions, but that is an *insanely* harsh thing to say (and I found a comment similar to this--no doubt from the same poster--for the names Mary and John, and I think William, as well). A boy is not named Richard, a fairly common name, because he was "unwanted." That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.______________________________________________________In my family, Richard is quite a common name. It's the name of my late great-grandfather, his daughter's husband (my grandparents), his son (my great uncle), and my great uncle's son. And they all had/have different nicknames: my great-grandpa was Dick (which is obviously not usable on young Richards anymore), my grandpa is Rich, my great uncle is Rick, and my cousin is Rick/Ricky, depending on who he's talking to. They also all have different middle names.Over time, Richard has become my favorite male name, and if I ever have a son, there's a good chance that this will be his name (unless, of course, my husband absolutely hates the name). I think his full name would be Richard Thomas--my great-grandpa's name. He was a very honorable, hard-working man, and though I only knew him for four years before he died, I think of him as a good namesake for a child.

原I have never really liked this name. The name has been overused for a long time, and now it sounds quite old-fashioned. It sounds a tad elitist despite the fact that it's been so common, and I dislike all the nicknames that come out of it: Dick, Rick, Ricky, Rich, and Richie. This sounds like the name people gave to their unwanted sons in lack of better ideas.
