A council spokesperson said that the currant-containing pudding would now be known by less amusing names, the BBC reports.
He said: "The correct title for this dish is Spotted Dick. However because of several immature comments from a few customers, catering staff renamed the dish Spotted Richard or Sultana Sponge.
"This was not a policy decision, canteen staff simply acted as they thought best to put an end to unwelcome and childish comments, albeit from a very small number of customers."
However, Flintshire councillor Klaus Armstrong-Braun said: "People make silly comments about everything in life, there is no need to change the name over it."
Food critic Michael Winner told Sky News: "Spotted Dick is a classic and lovely name for a traditional British dish."
