    'Richard' Stamper. Not very German indeed.

    It’s not is it? 🤣 I do wonder if he was written as German. Or any nationality specifically. Unlike the good Dr. Kaufman he doesn’t scream German to me in theory.

    'The name Richard comes from Old High German and is made up of the words ric and hard. It means "brave ruler" or "strong king".'

    As @QBranch already pointed out, Richard is a perfectly normal German name (Richard Wagner, Richard von Weizsäcker), as it is a perfectly normal English and French name. The only difference is the pronunciation. And it is not really a name that is currently used much, but old-fashioned first names tend to come back (Adolf might take a little longer). But I never knew that Stamper's first name was supposed to be Richard. And Dr. Kaufman(n) should be spelled with a double-n at the end.
