Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: Azizi Date: 23 Mar 05 - 05:27 PM Hi Daves and non-Daves! Here's some etymology for the name Dave from various books I have on on names: origin: Hebrew {Dodavehu} meaning: Darling or Beloved [of God] "Dave" in some other languages: Davide-French Davidde-Italian Davyd- Russian & Ukranian Daveed-Russian Davi-Portuguese Dawid-Polish & Yiddish Dewey, Dovydas- Lithuanian {Dewey also Welsh] Daoud- Arabic Daudi-KiSwahili Daibidh-Scotch Davidek-Czech Also, Delvin is an Irish form of David And Davon is an English form of David which serves as the basis for a host of very popular contemporary African American male names such as Davonte & Davontay {day-VOHN-tay}..The nickname for this male name is Day Day.. Dai & Taffy and Welsh nicknames for David Davy, Davie, Dave are English nicknames for David The surname Davis means "son of David" {son of the beloved one}; Davidson does too..and Dawson is another form of Davis.. And so on and so on.. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: Ebbie Date: 24 Mar 05 - 06:25 PM 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? ?;~) |
Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Mar 05 - 07:01 PM Nah, that's not specific to Daves, just men in general!!! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: Azizi Date: 24 Mar 05 - 07:09 PM "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'. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: Gurney Date: 24 Mar 05 - 09:05 PM Dave is a sexist name. If you were politically correct you would have a non-gender-specific diminutive of your christian/given/fore name like..... Chris. Shame on your parents. (Or Sue, if you like country songs) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: GUEST,Skipy Date: 25 Mar 05 - 08:20 PM 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.

Subject: RE: BS: The Dave thread From: Dave'sWife Date: 26 Mar 05 - 08:20 AM 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. |
