Hmm, I'm leaning more towards "Dickin son", as in, the son famous for dickining.

No no, it's the son of the person famous for dickining.

Oh, so your father's name was Dickin? Or Richard? Or...?

Well, you see, uh...

Dickins is an archaic term for the devil, as in 'what in the dickins name is going on here?' oft shortened to 'what the dickins?' So... tiefling name?

I went to look up the entomology of this word, but I spelled it wrong.

It really bugs me.
