    Lmao I knew I’d read his name somewhere before:

    The 9 Manliest Names in the World

    Number 2: Dick Pound

    The Name: Um ... we actually aren't quite sure why this one's on the list, to be honest. Dick Pound?

    Hmmm. Dick Pound. An intern gave us this one. He insisted it be on the list. "Richard" isn't especially manly, and neither is British currency. Is this a trick? Dick Pound. Dick ... Pound

    The Man: We're really drawing a blank on this guy. His Wikipedia page tells us he's a lawyer in the firm Stikeman Elliott and the chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) based in Montreal.

    Nope, nothing there (although "Stikeman Elliott" actually isn't too bad.) But, Dick Pound?

    Dick?

    Pound.

    The Only Way It Could Have Been Manlier: Well, since we seem to be out of the loop on this one so we just asked the intern, who suggested adding "Brown" to the end of the name. Then, he said it over and over again, laughing like a hyena.
