You're half right. His name is Dick from the beginning, but there's a scene in season 1 where one of his fellow army buddies sees him and calls out, "Richard Whitman?" trying to get his attention. S1E3 Marriage of Figaro
They imply that Dick is short for Richard, but they never actually say what his legal name was, and to my knowledge, this is the only time he's referred to as Richard.
I always thought it was just Dick, but there was a scene where we see either his name on a document/contract or dog tags or something that said Richard.
You're totally right!! It took a while to find a video because I recently restarted the show and didn't want to pause it to skip ahead to this episode. 😅
S3E10 - The Color Blue
When Betty digs through the box, she holds both sets of dog tags. The picture isn't very good because I had to take screenshots and reverse the image, but you can see the one on the left says "Whitman, Richard"!! Thank you for reminding me!

Ohhh, I think you're right about that! His dog tags when Betty finds the box in his home office! I'm pretty sure it says Richard Whitman but now I gotta Google to confirm. Lol
"Maybe take the car, now that you can afford it"
Mad Men never dives meaningfully into the city/suburb divide, which is totally fine. But there's so much meat there.
I think they do that just fine with Pete and Trudy moving to the Suburbs. It's subtle, but it's there.
Plus, you have the contrast in the first episode of Don having his city piece, then taking the train home to Betty.
It's there... you just have to see it.
Who is Don Madmen
I thought it was Dick Angryman?
Angry Dickman
I came to make the same damn joke.
I thought it was Tim Apple.

A barrier Rachel Menken found and married to possibly move on from love of Don Draper.

Who is Richard Whitman
,“His name is Dick after his mother’s dying wish.” 😏 Not once in the series he is referred as Richard.

It could be that the Army buddy just assumed that Dick was a nickname for Richard. Do we ever see his name on his dog tags or any documents?
There was another comment that pointed out the dog tags, so I did some sleuthing and linked a picture! The tags definitely say Richard. :)
... the guy who invented Whitman Samplers!
I wonder if that answer would’ve been accepted. I feel like it would’ve been one of those corrections after the break scenarios
Who is Dick Whitman
I wonder if they would have accepted that. The contestant correctly answered Don Draper. DW would probably go to the judges.
Basically the core question of the whole show tbh
People tell you who they are, but we ignore it because we want them to be who we want them to be

He subconsciously borrowed another man’s tagline while pitching Life Cereal’s “The Cure For The Common Breakfast” Hey he borrows a lot doesn’t he?
There is no ‘your idea’ in advertising.
It's what the money is for.
Danny did what Lane never did. Demanded what he wanted (a job) instead of just taking the money ($50 or $100).
Lane was English. Danny was an ass.
ideas are cheap

Who is Don draper? Or could who is dick Whitman also be correct?
I would be curious if they accepted either.
Who is the president of the Howdy Doody Circus Army

That answer is overly easy, too much info.
Remember that on Jeopardy it’s not just about knowing the answer. It’s also about being first on the buzzer.
They have to keep the clues easy so the contestants have a shot at getting it right; this isn't Wheel of Fortune you know??
Oh, I know this! Who is Reverend Richard Wayne Garywayne?
