	Richenda Lizx I am sure there was a young girl called Dick on a documentary the other day, can't think what it was now or might have been able to look it up and see what her real name was.

	Is it a specific girl? it may just be a family nickname ...maybe they were expecting a boy ! not heard it before for a girl and can't think of any name it would be short for.
