So I was talkin' to my good friend Blackstormtorrent and we both agree that next year when DC's do the annual ret-con top priority on the lsit of changes should be Dick Graysons name.
Dick is way outdated. I doubt there's any man his age going by that handle so if DC're readin' go with Rick when the next Crisis comes up.
You know it makes sense.
Dick Grayson
Character » Dick Grayson appears in 9479 issues.
As the first Robin, Dick Grayson was the most famous sidekick in comic book history. As he ventured forth on his own, he formed the Teen Titans and became their leader. When the boy became a man, he became the independent hero known as Nightwing.
Change Grayson's name...
The funniest thing about this was back when there were live podcasts, there was discussion in the live chat box about Dick Grayson, only it kept coming up as '<censored> Grayson'. So we were forced to call him Richard/Ricky/Lil Richie, before coming up with creative alternatives like D!CK. I'm not saying they should change it because it's obscene, because it clearly isn't, but I agree he's in need of an update. Though I would settle for plain old Richard.
I've tried to come up with a response that doesn't come off as sounding rude but I just can't so here goes
That is the dumbest idea that I've ever heard
There's a real estate agent here named Dick Short.
I think Dick Grayson has it easy.
What a pansy. why would you change something that awesome?

2010. Do you know any one or are aware of any one the age of Dick Grayson who goes by the name "Dick"?
I don't think it's rude or any thing just very outdated.
even if it weren't that common how many people do you know that are name Clark, or Peter, or Bruce
" @Gylan Thomas: Richard is the #7 most common name in the U.S. around 2086175 males in the U.S. are named RichardRichard yeah, but who shortens it to Dick any morwe?

Erm....I don't get it?" @Gylan Thomas: Would it be completely outlandish of me to assume that you live in a small town and have a very close relationship with your parents? "
My mother's pretty great but my old man was a bit a jerk.
Would it be outlandish of me to assume you live in the fifties where people still went by the name Dick? :P

" Maybe Dick is Short for... Dickinson? "Nope.
Definately Richard.
Richard "Dick" Grayson
" @Gylan Thomas: Dick is short for Richard? I Never fully understood why that was... "Me either really.
There's no 'D' in Richard :S
I have friends named Richard who like calling themselves Dick. They find it entertaining.
Also, the groupies who used to be all over Bruce Wayne are now going for: "Richie Grayson".
And I am a huge Dick Grayson fan. So I say he stays the same.
