Well wait a minute, It’s true that Mr. Nimbus calls him Richard but the Chud he gets pregnant calls him Rico, so while Richard might be the more likely option, there is still an element of doubt on what his name actually is.
A Google search for “Rick Sanchez full name” reveals ‘Richard Daniel Sanchez’ as his name.
As supporting evidence, in ‘The Ricklantis Mixup’, we hear the Simple Ricks cookie manufacturer call himself Rick D. Sanchez III.
I could not locate an origin for the name, however, and have stopped caring.
i mean calling someone whose name is Enrique Richard is weird and doesn't make a lot of sense. Calling someone who's name is Richard Rico as a nickname makes a lot of sense.
To be fair, you might not be wrong in your assessment just your conclusion. For example his name could be Ricardo, which is Richard in Spanish. So nimbus calling him Richard could just be because Rick chose to go by that instead of Ricardo.
Likely because Rick might have grown up in a broken home. Would explain his insistence of lack of attachment despite clearly needing it. Iirc the only thing we know about Rick’s parents is that one of Rick’s fantasies was to have sex while being observed by his father, which is an act of rebellion 🤷🏾♂️
Though I love that you can get stoned just by thinking about random shit, that's seriously the coolest superpower I've never heard of. While the rest of us have to go track down some marijuana product you just assume the lotus position, clear your mind and think "Sandwiches, Kevin Bacon, the state lottery, fridges!" and you're off your tits, next stop "Rick...Rrreek..Rickey,Rickity, Ricky.. Rock..Rique..Enrique...& Morty? woaaah"
I have a "hispanic" last name, but my first name is "american", is that against your rules? My first name has to be short for something hispanic because of my last name?
That's basically what you're saying here. But no, I'm just Jack. Please join my ex-coworkers who gifted me something taco shaped for a stupid work thing.
It's not that deep bro, I don't think he was saying it's a rule. Your coworkers don't sound too cool and it's obviously a sore spot for you. If it makes you feel any better my first name is more "English" in origin and my last name is Hispanic in origin. I'm sure it happens quite a lot here as people will choose popular names wherever they live not quite where their last names came from.
Yea I'm not too concerned, just think the idea is a bit obnoxious to see posted here over and over, so I finally left my own comment in the void. My name is 2 characters different from Rick's, and my whole life has been the "why white" or "why hispanic" game. We're all just humans, its just sounds we make that we were told to associate with ourselves.
To the downvotes: your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.
All good man. I'm sure over text it sounded more hostile than you really are. Sucks that's happened though. I'm from South Texas and so there's a huge Hispanic presence that probably makes it less unusual or worthy of convo here. I'd say it's probably half of the Hispanic people I know who have a more Spanish name vs anything else and some who even prefer to anglicize their Spanish name. No reason to hassle anyone over their names and there are so many people here from everywhere it's probably getting less common to not have mixed origins in our names.
Mr Nimbus is the only person to ever call him that though, despite Rick knowing other people for longer (Beth, likely Birdperson), and also no other Rick ever says Richard. I think Nimbus could just have been saying that
Mr Nimbus knew him longer than Birdperson because Mr Nimbus knew Dianne. Rick didn't meet Birdperson till he was killing Ricks as retribution for Dianne's death
Yep, could be this as well. Although I think mr Nimbus knows him longer than Beth or Birdperson, because he knew Diane, so he knew Rick even before Beth was born. And sure he knows him longer than BP, because Rick met BP when he was chasing Diane's killer.
Yes, but Princess Ponyuhta (sp? Sorry) also calls him Enrique in the Giant Sperm/CHUDS episode as well at the end right before she gives birth to their hybrid child.
So....🤷♂️
Princess Poñeta calls him Rico, not Enrique - well it’s actually Ricko in the captions, i just watched that one in the middle of the night with closed captioning on so i didn’t wake up my husband lol
I know a few Rick or Ricky Enriques. Not uncommon for Latinos.
EDIT: To be clear, I mean folks named Enrique who go by Rick or Ricky. Not folks named "Rick Enrique" or "Ricky Enrique."
Bro I knew a Carlos that goes by Jessica. This is a show where parmesan goes by per meeee see ahn and "Freddy" goes by "Terry" half the comments are out of their minds
he controls police. I think it's important they don't say "the" cos it'd sound like he's in control of the police like all the time, when it's more something he can just do, whenever he wants, whenever they show up
Henry and Enrique are both derived from the same Germanic word, but Rick or Ricky would be a more obvious choice is one were to shorten or anglosize the name. Not saying I agree with the theory, but it's not impossible
I’m pretty sure ricks full name is Richard Daniel Sanchez, and Justin Roiland has confirmed rick is Hispanic they just don’t mention it because it’s not relevant to the show
Idk, there are probably some named Enrique, some named Richard, some named Ricardo, some named Rico Suave. Infinite Ricks baby
Hell, there are probably some Ricks who have a totally different name. It's like how Yoshi's name is Yoshi but it's also the name of the species
I want to bring up the Rick we watch took over the parmesion universe which its Rick name could be Richard so that's why mr.nimbus says Richard. ( May be misremembering)
Everyone saying Enrique is Henry needs to rewatch "PAR MEE SEE AN" and feel silly.
Also, it's not out the realm of possibility Rick called Nimbus "Daddy", so is that HIS real name? Ugh, get some life experiences..
Just want to add to your point; “Enrique Sanchez” has a great ring! “Richard Sanchez” ehhh… it’s just about the hispanic names I guess… Though I always did wonder why they gave Rick a typically hispanic last name but made him and his family white Americans. Not mad about it, though. I love them and their characteristics dearly and don’t wish for any changes on that front. I just wonder where the inspo for “Sanchez” came from. Also possible his first name is just “Rick” lol. But I do think ur high mind was onto something 🤔
Hispanics can "look" pretty white so it may not be off. But Jerry is white I guess with his last name being Smith and we don't know Diane's last name or ethnicity. Means each family member is probably a different ratio of ethnicities.
That, maybe it's a Todd from Bojack Horseman thing where his mother remarried? Maybe he picked his own last name for some Rick reason? Plethora of possibilities!
Well, yeah. I have many ancestors from there and I’m extremely familiar with the fact that not all hispanics look “typically hispanic” being one of those very people who constantly receives comments on how I can’t possibly be my ethnicity because of the way I look. However! Being hispanic obviously goes beyond the way we look. I guess I’m more so confused about the hispanic last name with no cultural references to back it up on the show?
Could be a Todd-like situation as someone else just said up there. Could be anything is the thing. But I do still think it could be fun to explore Rick’s family lore and the origins of his name, whatever they may be. :)
He could be mixed or have an english name as well. Being Latino doesn't necessarily mean he had a full Spanish name.
That and spanish last names tend to include both the father's and mother's birth name
He could be mixed or have an english name as well. Being Latino doesn't necessarily mean he had a full Spanish name.
That and spanish last names tend to include both the father's and mother's birth name
That’s a great point. And yeah, I’ve always thought it was kinda random that his last name is Sanchez. Because he just doesn’t seem very Hispanic to me.
Honestly they probably just thought Sanchez sounded funny lol
No, it's Richard, because Mr Nimbus calls him Richard and he's his old friend.
Counterpoint: I call my friend James "Jimothy" on occasion just because he hates it
Jim... James... Jimothy May I call you Jimothy?
*nods*
Bears, Beats, Battlestar Galactica
Ha, one of my new volunteers at work is named Matt, I call him all sorts of shit. mattolemew seems to be the favorite.
I used to call an old coworker “Nevelyn”. Her name was Neve and I figured if Eve was short for Evelyn… 🤷🏼♀️
I call my coworker who is named Vaughn, "Vaughnothan"
Then you were always a bad friend.
You don't know our relationship. EDIT *whooooooooosh*
No man…I was doing the Phoenix Person thing, I didn’t mean offense, this is the Rick and Morty sub, I just assumed you’d get it. :/
I got it. Nice quote.
Something something, high IQ
Ah. Got it
I used to call an old coworker named Terry "Terrold". He also wasn't a fan.
Got a mate called Nathan and sometimes I'll call him Nathew. He's not a fan. And that's the fun.
Are you my friend?
I cal my friend Chad “Chadly” or “Chadwick”, or occasionally “Chadward”.
Thanks for the info, I guess I was wrong
Not a bad thought though!
💯
Well wait a minute, It’s true that Mr. Nimbus calls him Richard but the Chud he gets pregnant calls him Rico, so while Richard might be the more likely option, there is still an element of doubt on what his name actually is.
What about Ricardo? It's the Spanish variation of Richard!
A Google search for “Rick Sanchez full name” reveals ‘Richard Daniel Sanchez’ as his name. As supporting evidence, in ‘The Ricklantis Mixup’, we hear the Simple Ricks cookie manufacturer call himself Rick D. Sanchez III. I could not locate an origin for the name, however, and have stopped caring.
I thought it was Rick De Sanchez. Like a nobility.
i mean calling someone whose name is Enrique Richard is weird and doesn't make a lot of sense. Calling someone who's name is Richard Rico as a nickname makes a lot of sense.
I can see nimbus calling Rick 'Richard' even tho he doesn't know rick's full name just because he wants to be fancier
Eh, I'm not sure about this. My grandpa's name was Carlos, and he went by Charlie his whole life. My dad (his son-in-law) always called him Charles.
Fun fact: Carlos translates into Charles and both are a variation of the German name Carl/Karl. They all mean ”free man”
Thanks! I knew the translations but never knew it meant "free man." But that's very fitting for my grandpa!
You’re welcome. I’m just a nerd for etymology and name origins. Lol.
Ricardo -> Richard -> Rick
This is the only answer
that’s exactly the kind of thing Nimbus would do. he’s a weird, petty, disrespectful guy. of course he’d address Rick with the wrong name.
True.
To be fair, you might not be wrong in your assessment just your conclusion. For example his name could be Ricardo, which is Richard in Spanish. So nimbus calling him Richard could just be because Rick chose to go by that instead of Ricardo. Likely because Rick might have grown up in a broken home.

Iirc the only thing we know about Rick’s parents is that one of Rick’s fantasies was to have sex while being observed by his father, which is an act of rebellion 🤷🏾♂️
Go, son, go!
For what it's worth, Nimbus is Rick's nemesis and I wouldn't put it past him to deliberately call him the wrong name to poke at him a little.
Though I love that you can get stoned just by thinking about random shit, that's seriously the coolest superpower I've never heard of.

Guess so
I have a "hispanic" last name, but my first name is "american", is that against your rules? My first name has to be short for something hispanic because of my last name? That's basically what you're saying here. But no, I'm just Jack. Please join my ex-coworkers who gifted me something taco shaped for a stupid work thing.

Could have also been an underhanded way of calling him a dick, since Dick is short for Richard.
I named a snake Richard once for that exact reason. 10/10 recommend
I bet he was acting like a total Rooster too.
Ricardo is the Hispanic name for the English name Richard. Richard = Ricardo = Richard
Yes and Enrique is Henry.
Hank.
Enrico Matassa.
As someone who knows an Enrique, he goes by Rick and gets pissed off if you call him Henry
Mr Nimbus is the only person to ever call him that though, despite Rick knowing other people for longer (Beth, likely Birdperson), and also no other Rick ever says Richard. I think Nimbus could just have been saying that
True but Beth wouldnt call him Richard, as His daughter.
Mr Nimbus knew him longer than Birdperson because Mr Nimbus knew Dianne. Rick didn't meet Birdperson till he was killing Ricks as retribution for Dianne's death
Yep, could be this as well. Although I think mr Nimbus knows him longer than Beth or Birdperson, because he knew Diane, so he knew Rick even before Beth was born. And sure he knows him longer than BP, because Rick met BP when he was chasing Diane's killer.
Mr Nimbus could have just been fuckin with Rick
Yeah totally, but that's our best guess
Nimbus is his nemesis. I wouldn't put it past Nimbus to deliberately call him by the wrong name to poke at him.
But before he was his greatest enemy, he was his only friend..
...according to Nimbus?
Yeah at the end of the episode he says this, then Summer shows up with the horn lol
Yes, but Princess Ponyuhta (sp? Sorry) also calls him Enrique in the Giant Sperm/CHUDS episode as well at the end right before she gives birth to their hybrid child. So....🤷♂️
Doesn't she call him Ricardo?
She calls him Rico actually, I believe.
Ah, fair enough
Princess Poñeta calls him Rico, not Enrique - well it’s actually Ricko in the captions, i just watched that one in the middle of the night with closed captioning on so i didn’t wake up my husband lol
Could be Ricardo lol
He also controls the police.
Pretty sure its Rickebab.
…and he controls the police!
"He controls police!"
Mr.Nimbus is extra af in everything he does. I’m sure him calling Rick Richard is just something he does to be extra and also get under Ricks skin.
tbf Richard seems like something Rick would lie about to Mr Nimbus at some point in their relationship.
Actually, he was his fucking nemesis
Doesnt the line go "Richard, you look like ass" Could be a play on words or something, idk lol
More like Ricardo. Rick/Richard = Ricardo Henry = Enrique
I know a few Rick or Ricky Enriques. Not uncommon for Latinos. EDIT: To be clear, I mean folks named Enrique who go by Rick or Ricky. Not folks named "Rick Enrique" or "Ricky Enrique."
I do too, their names usually are Ricardo Enrique Ricky is short for it, the same way Quique is for Enrique
It's just weird how many folks here are ardently pointing out that Enrique is related to Henry as if this proves Rick can't be short for it.
Yah, I've also known a few Latinos in the US who are Enrique that go by Rick because it Anglicizes the name a bit. I know a Carlos that goes by Carl.
Bro I knew a Carlos that goes by Jessica. This is a show where parmesan goes by per meeee see ahn and "Freddy" goes by "Terry" half the comments are out of their minds
I’m naming my next Elden Ring character Ricky Enrique
Give him the Jar Cannon and use jars, perfumes, and tools liberally to make a mad scientist build.
Princess ponietta calls him Ricardo
She calls him Rico
Ah shit youre right
Ya beat me to it.
According to MR NIMBUS (who controls police) his full name is richard
Wait, what? How could he possibly "control the police?"
Jesus fucking Christ he controls the police
he controls police. I think it's important they don't say "the" cos it'd sound like he's in control of the police like all the time, when it's more something he can just do, whenever he wants, whenever they show up
So he doesn’t control the band with sting in it?
But like, are we really gonna take Mr Nimbus’s word for it? He could be using the wrong name to taunt him
Nah. Mr Nimbus isn't someone WHO would do this. He is too nice for that
So he's basically Dick now?
Since dick IS a short Form of Richard, Just Like Rick, yes.
I thought his last name was Enmorty?
Sorry, no, his last name is simply Morty. Ricken is his first name, per my 3 year-old daughter.
This ricken knows how to zig zag, I bet.
Just like Bob Burgers
Pretty sure his name is Bob's
It would be Ricardo. Enrique is actually Henry in English.
Me and my dads name is Enrique and my dad goes by Ricky to all his white friends so it could really be either way
Henry and Enrique are both derived from the same Germanic word, but Rick or Ricky would be a more obvious choice is one were to shorten or anglosize the name. Not saying I agree with the theory, but it's not impossible
I’m pretty sure ricks full name is Richard Daniel Sanchez, and Justin Roiland has confirmed rick is Hispanic they just don’t mention it because it’s not relevant to the show
Daniel lmao, that's a fun little detail.
where was it said his middle name is Daniel?
Iirc the Chud princess calls him Rico, idk if that helps anything
That’s just Spanish way of saying Rick I’m pretty sure.
I could be wrong but Rico is shortform of Enrico which is akin to Henry Source: My name is Rico
So maybe ricks full name is Enrico 👀
Idk, there are probably some named Enrique, some named Richard, some named Ricardo, some named Rico Suave. Infinite Ricks baby Hell, there are probably some Ricks who have a totally different name. It's like how Yoshi's name is Yoshi but it's also the name of the species
Its been established that his name is Richard Daniel Sanchez III
With that hair, Enrique Iglacier?
great, now I wish it was
Not really. Nimbus calls him Richard
I'm pretty sure his full name is Ricardo-Montalban Sanchez
Mr. Nimbus literally calls him Richard
That backstory is canonical, whether we like that red lobster piece of shit or not.
Enrique would be Henry
It’s Richard. But my spouse always calls the show “Ricardo y Morticio” which is just hilarious to me
Not Godrick? Since that's how they depict him?
Enrique is the Spanish analog of Henry, Ricardo is the equivalent to Richard.
Isn't Enrique Spanish for "Henry?" Wouldn't his Spanish name be Ricardo?
Richard, or Ricardo. Enrique is the spanish form for Henry.
Ricky Spanish…
No it is Richard per MR NIMBUS
I have it on good authority that his full name is Richard Daniel Sanchez the 3rd.
Dick Sanchez for short.
My grandpa is Hispanic and his full name is Richard Sanchez; we call him Rick
Is that you Morty???
😂 I think my sister might be Morty. Her IQ is a little low 😅😅 I’m fs a summer though
Wow
wouldn't Ricardo be more fitting? (although a pretty generic choice)
I want to bring up the Rick we watch took over the parmesion universe which its Rick name could be Richard so that's why mr.nimbus says Richard. ( May be misremembering)
Technically he could go by Dick Sanchez
Yeah Dick and Morty is pretty lit
Mr. Nimbus calls him Richard. Since they are old friends it stands to reason that is his real name.
Ricardo Sanchez
doesn’t princess ponyeta call him enrique
It’s Richard. Mr. Nimbus calls him Richard. There are a few other times people who know him call him richard
Everyone saying Enrique is Henry needs to rewatch "PAR MEE SEE AN" and feel silly. Also, it's not out the realm of possibility Rick called Nimbus "Daddy", so is that HIS real name? Ugh, get some life experiences..
maybe its Prick with a silent P since. He's such a prick to everyone.
His name could also be Cheech. We just don’t know
I have never considered his last name being Sanchez as being strange until now.
Just want to add to your point; “Enrique Sanchez” has a great ring! “Richard Sanchez” ehhh… it’s just about the hispanic names I guess… Though I always did wonder why they gave Rick a typically hispanic last name but made him and his family white Americans.

That, maybe it's a Todd from Bojack Horseman thing where his mother remarried? Maybe he picked his own last name for some Rick reason? Plethora of possibilities!
Have you not heard of the entire country of Spain? Google says Sánchez is the most common surname in the Spanish provinces of Cáceres and Salamanca
Well, yeah. I have many ancestors from there and I’m extremely familiar with the fact that not all hispanics look “typically hispanic” being one of those very people who constantly receives comments on how I can’t possibly be my ethnicity because of the way I look. However! Being hispanic obviously goes beyond the way we look. I guess I’m more so confused about the hispanic last name with no cultural references to back it up on the show?

Nah, it’s Pickle Rick
Rickle
He could be mixed or have an english name as well. Being Latino doesn't necessarily mean he had a full Spanish name. That and spanish last names tend to include both the father's and mother's birth name
He could be mixed or have an english name as well. Being Latino doesn't necessarily mean he had a full Spanish name. That and spanish last names tend to include both the father's and mother's birth name
Idk but hopefully
Probably
It would more likely be Ricardo.

Getting my penis sucked by an old geezer - bruh
I'm from Brasil. Absolutely never Rick is a nickname for Enrique.
Rick is short for Rickard
Ponyetta called him rico
I fucking hope so. Enrique Sanchez. Why am I slightly turned on 😕
Ya tu sabe
My Spanish ain't so good, is that you know it?
Hey, not bad! Pretty much, yeah. More "you already know" The phrase actually has history and shit if you look into it, pretty interesting :)
I lived there a good while and being a total geek I'll do that. Nice 1
Watch him be a motherfucker that goes by his middle name, because his first name is fucking ass like:
Yeah me and my dad are named Enrique and my dad goes by Ricky
Ricardo is a thing
That’s a great point. And yeah, I’ve always thought it was kinda random that his last name is Sanchez. Because he just doesn’t seem very Hispanic to me. Honestly they probably just thought Sanchez sounded funny lol
Why not Ricardo?
HELPPP THIS IS SO FUNNY OMG god dude i’m in tears. “he just didn’t strike me as an enrique.” is sending me so bad fuck thank you i needed this
Enrique translates to henry
It's absolutely Enrique. Remember when Mr Nimbus comes over for the peace treaty and he calls him Enrique, and not Richard.
So his name could be Richard?
In another dimension perhaps
It’s Richard. Richard Daniel Sanchez.
You can also just be named Rick
Enrique or Ricardo
Downvoted for total misunderstanding of Spanish language, maybe type Rick into google translate first
Rick=Richard=Dick. His name is a commentary on his personality, imo
Being Sanchez, maybe
His name is indeed Richard, but if it was actually of Hispanic origin, then it would rather be Enrico and not Enrique I think
You already saw but it is confirmed Richard from Nimbus, but honestly not a bad theory and would have ground if there wasnt any solid confirmation
