Richard is a far from stylish old Norman name, with a rich royal history, but now not even in the Top 100. All the possible nicknames of Richard -- Richie, Ricky, and especially Dick -- are so over. It's hard to imagine Richard ever coming back into style. But not that long ago, people said that about now-hot baby names Sam and Max.
