Now Shirley was none too keen on being Shirley Shirley. Although I personally think it would be a great name. And so they decide to take Shirley's surname. So, Richard duly becomes Richard Hayter. Understanably, his closest friends realise his mistake and take full advantage of calling him Dick Hayter which makes him sound like a lesbian porn star.
