I don’t know, but I wish they hadn’t. My name is Richard, but people want to call me Dick and everything else a dick can be called.
Actually, Dick from Richard may have come from the way medieval English pronounced R. It was trilled, and could have sounded like a D.

Hank for Henry and Jack for John don’t make sense to me.
If my name were Richard I would insist on Rick or Rich, not Dick.
