So your first name is Richard, then ;)
No, it isn't. It wasn't very funny with my name, so I didn't go for that option.

I've always thought it would have been nice to be "Richard Head"...
That reminds me of a RL family story -- my female cousin is a nurse, and she swears like a longshoreman. After spending a week visiting, her 6 year old granddaughter went home, and one day was wondering why her mom kept calling my cousin's husband Don -- the grandkid kept insisting his name was Richard. When asked why, she said "Because grandma always calls him Dick!"

Hotchkiss had something to do with cannons. :P
I snatched this one from the media over the past year, there was a former NHL player named Harley Hotchkiss who died recently. The Hotchkiss you are thinking of was involved with machine guns, maybe? There is of course the Hotchkiss military jeep
It would appear the term "Hotchkiss gun" was used most often for a 47mm light "mountain" cannon manufactured by the French arms and automobile company Société Anonyme des Anciens Etablissements Hotchkiss et Cie, founded in 1867 by an engineer from Connecticut. Some of these were bought by the U.S. Army and used in the invasions of Cuba and the Philippines in the 1890s, and against the Sioux at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. Another well-known Hotchkiss gun was a 37mm revolving cannon that could fire 43 shells per minute; this was used against the Ute people in 1879.

I've always thought it would have been nice to be "Richard Head", but my last name wasn't cooperative. That name is so me, though.
My highschool choir teacher was named Richard Peter Dick. We called him Triple Dick.
