When I was in college in Boston, there was an election in New Hampshire and one of the candidates was named **** Swett. I'm pretty sure he was in the US Congress. It was just so crazy to see these commericals advertising "vote for **** swett" and signs saying "We love **** swett", "Dick Swett for Congress"

I guess if that's your name you have to embrace it, but still...go by richard at least!
