Why do David's prefer Dave?
Do Noel or tord
David is a strong, powerful classic name. No matter where you’re from or where you go, people are familiar with it. It used to be a perennial Top 10 name and I always had other Davids in class. But as an adult, I haven’t worked with many Davids, particularly younger ones. There’s definitely many famous Davids that weren’t mentioned like Duchovny, Grohl, Foley, Grusin, Davies, Lynch, Crosby, Edmunds, Boreanaz. The list is endless.
I have a brother, a father, an uncle, a cousin, a 2nd cousin, a brother-in-law, 2 cousins-in-law, and a nephew all named David (plus a few I may be forgetting). My wife and I have made the executive decision that there will be no children of ours named David... Especially since I now work at a job where all but one of us are either named David, married to a David, or is the son of another David who also works at the same museum.
I'm just glad my wife's family is from México, so our kids will have an 'Uncle David', and a 'Tío David'. My cousins had to distinguish my dad and my Uncle David as 'Uncle Dave' and 'Uncle David' to keep them straight.
why are there so many Davids? isn't there any confusion??
One thing that most of the Davids that you mentioned, is the fact that they are all beloved which means that they are all living up to the name
Had a missionary told me it was to Be-loved instead of beloved.
I have never met a David I didn't like! Also, for me, saying the name out loud is pleasing to hear and say.
I remember hearing an interview on Australian radio not long after David Attenborough was knighted and the interviewer gushed "Should I call you Mr. Attenborough or Sir David?" He replied "Call me Davo." ❤
The Bristol video was great, please do more of these!
Another reason I’d imagine David isn’t seen as an old person name is became of the youth and strength associated with the biblical David. He’s often depicted as a heroic young shepherd and that cements David as a youthful name is most people’s minds.
Plus a lot of cool people have my name
Because it’s the best name in the world, clearly.
My brother David has a brother in law called David , and that David's sister is married to a Dave- can be confusing. Unlike England , Scotland has had two King Davids, although Edward the 8th's name within the family was David.
My name is David Anthony Lewis. When I found out what my names meant I went to my dad and told him that I was a beloved courageous warrior of inestimable worth. He quickly reminded me that inestimable could mean too small to estimate. 🤣🤣
My sons David Anthony also.
Went through a period where I wasn't the biggest fan of my name because it seemed like it belonged to people older than me and never anyone my age, apparently they are out there though 😅 happy with who I am now though 😊
Biblical names are the best names. And Latin names. My name is Daniel.
Even here in Germany, I had a classmate named David. It even is pronounced the english way.
It’s a great name!🤣
So many Daves, so little time.. Tennant, Bowie, Grohl, Gahan, Attenborough, Byrne, Pikley (He goes by Dav), Hasslehoff, you can make a fighting game roster where the Daves fight. Davo Attenborough can narrate if wanted.
Hello Ames how are you doing today
My son is a David born in 1995 very late in popularity it suits him so well he has two brothers with 1960s names Peter and Andrew we were very retro.
My cousin Tommy has a brother David. Also, I have a good friend named Dave, and a coworker David, so of course it's a good name. "Beloved" is a nice meaning, and fairly accurate.
Hello Wendy how are you doing today
I've always liked my name. I was once in a class of six people, three Davids, two Karens, and a Barbara. At least it's not as overwhelmingly popular as Mike/Michael, but it's a very common name.
Thanks for covering it today!
Finally it’s my time to shine!
Anecdotally, every David I know (4) goes by Dave. And weirdly enough, I saw the "name popularity" graph for Gary just yesterday. It has a sharp rise, peaking in 1950, and then an equally sharp decline. Sorry, Garys. But my generation isn't naming their sons after the jerk rival from Pokemon.
*sMeLl Ya LaTeR*
I only know the Gary from the game IB and the snail from spongebob. I forgot all about that Gary from pokemon.
There were 6 Davids (including me) in my year at school. Got confusing, so we mainly went by our surname
I have a cousin called David. Definitely named from the bible. As is all his siblings.
I just love the name of David. 😍
there was a time when if you were going to baptized Christian you had to be in part named after a saint my late maternal grandfathers name was David Joseph Kennedy he passed away in March 2017 aged 79
That's a Roman Catholic thing. It wasn't so much you had to be given a Saints name, as you had to have a Christian name - so if you were named something like 'Apple' for example, you'd be given a Saints name.
This isn't a thing in Protestantism.
Fun fact: Nicholas Lyndhurst has played both Gary (Sparrow in Goodnight Sweetheart) and Dave (Trigger's name for Rodney, Only Fools And Horses).
I like the name David. it;s my middle name and my grandpas name.
There are so many cool Dave's to the point where my brother and I came up with the theory that all Dave's are cool. Not all people that go by their full name David are cool though, but a majority still are. David Suzuki is another David I think of.
Fun fact! - David is the most popular boy name in Israel among male Jewish babies.
Also fun fact! - Muhammad is actually the most popular name of all babies born in Israel, despite Arabs only making up 21% of the population.
I know several Davids myself.
David's probably the most popular name which I actually like. Idk how to explain it.
I just wanted to hear my name get call so that's why am hear😂😂
my name is David
Another fellow LEGO collector! I have that same exact Bag’s End set.
This is my dad's name. It would've been my name if I was amab. It was going to be my brother's name, but dad said no.
David's also the name of the American Boy from Cooking Mama.
Leave it to Chance is a popular graphic novel about a girl named Chance.
You finally made a video about my name
What’s the show in the beginning where it said David, David, David etc??? Can Someone tell me I’m desperate over here
David is associated with strength, a victor and a physically gifted male.
I am a David and I am not physically gifted at all, and I don't think anyone but you associates my name with those things
Some of us are Davids, but most of us are Daves.
To be honest I have never liked it when someone calls me Dave, because my name is already short enough why shorten it more
@@dnm3732 Me neither, but I've mostly given up on that fight.
In my 30s, I started introducing myself as “David”, but most people, especially men, would end up calling me “Dave”.
I have an uncle named David, and my cousin who is uncle David’s daughter married a guy named David!
You should explain the name Laura! It's another religious name that is very popular in Spain and Italy
Laura is a beautiful name
How are you doing today Laura
@@pottergrant4633 I'm great thanks!
The name represents the embodiment of victory and strength. The name Daphne, derived from Ancient Greek, carries the same meaning.
Where are you from Laura?
My second year in college, I lived on a dorm floor with six other Daves. We adopted nicknames so we could talk about each other without getting confused. I wasn't as cool as Horticulture Dave or Amish Dave or Wiley Dave or Macaroni Dave. My nickname was pushed on me by my neighbor, who said I looked like Homer Simpson. Enough said.
D'oh!
We're you balding in college!? 🌝
@@augustuscaesar8287That and the overbite and jaundice.
YOU HAVE TO DO THE HISTORY OF OPTIMUS!
as a muslim, ive only heard dawood pronounced with a w, instead of a v
also do a video on yohannes, and all of its variations
Yeah, Arabic doesn’t even have V as a native phoneme.
Literally as i clicked on this video my sons phone rang..it was his best friend David...
Always remember the channel 'Dave' and it having good shows like Top Gear on lol
I'm running 3 weeks behind on my videos, though I'll go watch your In The Wild edition after I'm done here. Does that mean you've reached your Patron goal? Woot!
I love the name, it is my name. Everywhere I've been there's always been 1 to 6 other Davids, my extended family has a few but I'm the only one in my immediate family. The only time I was the one and only David was for a period of time at my workplace. It was nice.
Thank you for finally answering the question that the band Busted asked. “Who’s David?”
My grandads name but I couldn't name my son after him because my married name is Jones and in Australia there's a shop called David Jones lol . My grandad rarely was known as David but as ginger or ginge he was a red head. My brother is Gary his best friend is David haha
Rodney as a name u could do next and Link from David could be only fools n horses " alright Dave "
I would love to hear you explain Armenian names, considering lots of people in my family have Armenian names
It’s interesting when you look outside the English speaking world. I’m Greek and in Greece the name David or Δαβιδ is not popular. The name is more associated with the Bible . I don’t think I’ve ever met a Greek David.

In addition to David, דוד also means uncle and water heater.
Do a video on how the name Mable was resurrected by a Disney cartoon.
My name is very old, and of course based on my people's religion. Not a usual biblical character to name a child either. I haven't met a single one of my name in my age range -- only old people and obituaries. I still love my name regardless, it means "Of the Sun/Little Sun" in aramaic/syriac/hebrew and the Sun is a marvelous celestial.
I had a class mate named King David in high school.
Quite a few Davids in my family. My father, uncle (mother's brother), and cousin are all David. Interestingly, my father wanted to name me David as well, but my mother nixed this idea since there was already a David Sr. and Jr. in the immediate family (the aforementioned uncle and cousin, who both go by Dave). So David was placed as my middle name instead.
One of my 2nd cousins is named David, as is one of my friends.
Answer to the title is in the thumbnail: King David and Christianity
Same as John, Joe and Mary and their variations in different languages
My sister has been involved with three different guys named David. Our brother’s middle name is David.
My name is David, I have uncle and a 2nd cousin named David. Two of my wife's friends married Davids and named their sons David. As an Art teacher I've taught 4 Davids and 3 who's last name is David.
Dan Soders comedy special is called, son of a GARY… lol. Which is badass. But I know only one David, my brother but it’s spelled super unique lol Davide..lol. Where I’m at in the US I feel like the name David is gone the way of Gary I don’t know any or hardly any one under the age of 50 with the name David. So this video was a surprise to be honest. 🤷♀️
If you are my age you might be familiar with Gary Graffman (piano virtuoso) or Gary Moore (TV host).
Also a fun name to fingerspell, at least in Irish and American sign languages.
Can think of a famous Dawid: England cricketer Dawid Malan.
You forgot the most famous Dave, Rodney from only fools and horses
What’s the show in the beginning?
We honor the name.😊
I feel so dumb right now for not having made the connection that the Star of David is of that David, of Goliath-slaying fame
I miss being an exciting Kieth...
Hello Sarah how are you doing today
I wonder why RUclips recommended to this to me 🤔
"Aw, seriously?"
I have met at least 34 Davids in my life (I'm probably forgetting a few so I wouldn't be surprised if it was 40 or more), I have an Uncle David, there was a David in my neighbourhood growing up, I had several Davids in my classes at school and university, I work with a David, to name a few. I would say I know more Davids than any other name, even other extremely popular names like John, James and Michael
What show is that at the start?
I’m wondering the same thing
In the serbian the name is speld just like in English but only if it's writen in the latin script also I known some one with that name who was a anoying bully in elementary school and mideschool
my name, cause it's never picked for anything haha
My 1st cousin's name is David
Do one on Mike- there is always a few of us in a room!
Did anyone catch the author on one of @name explain 's books named David? Plus, do I get bonus points for having my middle name being David?
My name is David. So was my father's.
Yay my name
I am autistic and when I am having really hard time I remember that my name is David which means beloved and that makes me feel better
our version is daud داود عليه السلام
Aaron, not a long name, but it has so many different spelling, arron, aron, aran, Arun, harun, I could go on
I was named David as my middle name after my Uncle as i was born on his 20th birthday... 22nd October..
David also backwards Divad also rings true to me in many ways. Written in Hebrew, i look like a tit... that also is true to my name 😅😂😅
Dave?... Dave!.... Dave!... hey, Dave!... DAVE!... DAVE!
Dave's not here man.
Here's an interesting fact. The name Joshua is actually derived from the name Jesus. In his native tongue of Aramaic, Jesus was called Yeshua. Pronounced yay-shwah. So it's not hard to see how you go from Yeshua to Joshua, especially when you consider that the letter J was often pronounced as a Y instead. I didn't make the connection until I watched Passion of the Christ which is actually not a bad movie, but really fucked up and gorey. Also this is another random thought, but I suddenly want to watch the movie Dogma. I don't think I've seen it since it came out.
No pedantically argumentative but hilariously logical David Mitchell? He’s not very cool but I find him hilarious.
My dad's name is David but he wants to be called Dave
3:00 As a Michael, I am offended by that statement.

I would like a vedio about the name Elizabeth the most famous one our Queen Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd, other famous Elizabeths Elizabeth Taylor Queen Elizabeth 1st I can't think of any out famous Elizabeths, one of I had a friend in primary school who was a tomboy call Elizabeth but she prefer to be called lizzie.
How about “Brian?”
How old is the bloke who presents this?
Interested in the name Arianna wonder where it comes from
Can you do the name Don? Not Donald, not Donnie, but Don.
Hello st. Helens 😊

I'm very uncomfortable that you chose to make the Star of David yellow. you may only be a historian of names, but you should know why that's a problem especially for a descendant of Shoah survivors.
David is almost as popular of a man's name as James.
