There is in the land of OZ an entrepreneur named Dick Smith who over the years has made millions and given it away to charity only to start again. Now this man has entered the retail market creating his own brands in a rally against the big overseas corporations. Now one of his ideas was cheese, and when asked what he was going to call it he replied "Dick cheese". much to everyone's laughter. but he did and now it is seen and advertised everywhere and its snigger inducing name is now so common its no longer funny. Next he took on a famous brand of matches called "redheads" and of course they are called Dickhead matches" (this is all true) again everyone sniggered but now it is so common it has lost its funny connotations too.
So maybe that's what happens to people with strange names, have a laugh and they get over it. As Dick smith says I'm proud to be a Dick!

I know this is not quite what you where getting at Nightstalker but I thought it might be intresting.
