To which he replied

Anon wrote: I just thought of something regarding the name Dick. I was doing some outbound telephone marketing to an insurance agent with the first name Dick. When the receptionist answered I asked, "Is Dick in?" I lost it and had to hang up before he answered! Another name to avoid when naming your child--Peter.

Hehe. Yes Anon, there can be great consternation with that name. My local high school had a female shot putter named Shannon Dick. Of course, using the old megaphone style thingy, the guy running off the shot put contest would announce "Smith up... Jones on deck... Dick in the hole." Hehe. (It was probably equally embarrassing for her when it was "Dick up" too.)
