I do not snore! Dave's Wife is another Dave's wife (well she might be mine, I haven't seen her for months). And Dave's Wife's dog's name might be Dave or it might not but my dog's name isn't.
Apologies for any errant apostrophies.

The dog is snoring too but his name isn't Dave. Perhaps it ought to be.

Another Dave checking in here. D.W. I don't like Davey and when friends in the past have used it, albeit in a friendly manner, I've broken them of the habit by immediately attaching a -y to their given name (Petey, Mikey, Patty etc.).
Once worked on carpentry crew where 5 out of 6 were Daves. Very confusing. vl (Dave)

Once upon a few years ago, some women at my Husband's office insisted on calling him "Davey" all the time, which really ticked him off. He made some sort of general announcement that his name was "DAVID" and now everyone's afraid to call him Dave. He didn't object to 'Dave', just 'Davey' and not by everyone, just these women who were being overly familiar.

How do the rest of you Daves feel about 'Davey'?

I never call my husband 'Davey'. To my mind, thats the exclusive right of his parents and older siblings I call him DAVE. For some weird reason, everyone calls his father SPIKE to his face but when they list him online for some reason, its back to 'Dave' again.

And about the Daffyds - Isnt that just a touch too twee? I knew a guy, an SCA fellow, who changed the spelling of his name from David to Daffyd and people are still snickering behind his back. He wanted to be more 'Celtic'. Ah well. A shame he didn't try for an actual 'celtic' name.

I am within the family caled "David" not "Dave" this because my wife's sister is married to a "Dave", so this keeps it simple.
P.S. & I prefer it this way - so all you folkies who have refered to me as :- Dave Guest, for the past 34 years (time since burning bush convertion to Folk) please note I prefer to be called "David"!

My dad's name is Dave Barry, and there's also a humor columnist named Dave Barry who is not my dad. And my mom has the same name as Dave Barry the columnist's ex wife. Very strange. I had a boyfriend named Dave but I always called him David because it was just too weird to call him the same name as people call my dad.

"Delvin is an Irish form of Dave? You mean Devlin?"

Correction and Thread drift:

Delvin was a typo. Sorry.

But this caused me to go back and look up the name 'Devlin' in the multiple name books I own. {Name origin/meanings are another interest of mine and at last count I had 21 name books} One book on surnames I recently received from Mudcatter Hollowfox! Thanks again for this excellent resource!!

The problem with name books is that they all don't agree about the origins/meanings of certain names.

If 'Devlin' {DEHV-lin} is listed in these name books, it usually is given an Irish/Gaelic origin, but usually is given the meaning: 'courageous';{some variants of 'Devlin' are 'Dev'; 'Devland', 'Devlen'; 'Devlyn'}

'Devin' {DEH-vin} is a whole 'nuther personal name from Latin/French origin and meaning either 'Heavenly' or the name of an English county.
{some variants are 'Devinn','Devyn' and 'Devon'}

I share name meanings with children & youth [and their parents] to help develop and reinforce self-esteem. Consequently, I have used the name origin and meaning of 'David' for 'Davon' {day-vaughn}{'Davonte', 'Devon' etc} rather than the "Heavenly' meaning...

'Beloved' seems to have less of a wimp factor for urban young males who I interact with than 'Heavenly'. 'Courageous' is even better, but I think that would be stretching the meaning of 'Davon' etc. too much..


And now back to the DAVES!!

have I mention that I know a female name 'Davida?'

No? Well, I know a female name 'Davida'.

My first real boyfriend was named Dave. I have known many Daves since, and it is my impression that dave-hood tends to bring with it a charismatic but tumultuous life replete with two-timing relationships, mental oddities, inability to follow through on projects and many clashes with the law. Is that painting with a broad enough brush?

This thread should be stopped, this is raging Davism and as such is a scandal and an effront to equality, you would think in this day and age that such a blatant breach of European Human rights would be thinkable.

If this continues I will feel obliged to start a Nick thread, cos as everyone knows Nick in the finest name in Christendom, just think Saint Nicholas the beloved Father Christmas, Tzar Nicholas, Old Nick, Nick of time, Nickname just mention just of few of the magnificent Nicks in the world
