    Rich is short for Richard. Then, if you already have a Rich in your family, you swap the last letter out, making Rick. If you already have a Rick, swap the first letter out and you are now Dick.

    After many years of everyone being named the same few names, the multiple-layers-removed options become valid shortenings even without conflict. Then they become names of their own.
