Quoted from another of my favourite webcomics, the Web Author/Artist Brian has something to say on the topic of "Dick being short for Richard".
" So this has pissed me off for a while. Like, hm, twenty years.

How did Dick become short for Richard? I could take Rick without raising an eyebrow. I liken it unto tolerating lichen -- ohhh, see what I did there?

We can examine this Dick/Richard thing scientifically, but all it will do is shatter your every confidence in all empirical knowledge. Watch:

Obviously, there's a pattern at work here. The D in Dick didn't come out of nowhere. This isn't some kind of goddamn Moon-D. It's right there at the end of Richard.

So, okay. Step one. Take the last letter of your original name and make it the first letter.

That explains that.

Now what about that K? That, well, that is a Moon-K.

So now our second step is to replace the fourth letter of the original name with a K for no reason at all. Fine.

Therefore, according to the logic of the Richard-to-Dick transformation, Nrik is obviously short for Brian.

One addition to the system: if you don't have at least four letters in your name, you have no business searching for a shorter version of your name. So stop pouting.
"

So according to the laws of this scientific theory, my shortened name is
"Deok"

What's yours?
