As we are in the subject, does the brand names "Dickies" "Dick's Sporting Goods" or even the character "Dick Tracy" seems awkward name choices for US people/native english speakers?
As a ESL, the first time I heard of them it was kind of funny. I guess when one grows up in the context of those names is not that appalling...
