At least 4 off the top of my head - one being aged 7.

BIWI · 10/02/2025 15:47

BIL.

Comedycook · 10/02/2025 15:47

I know none.

minipie · 10/02/2025 15:47

No I don’t!

I do know at least 3 Davids but none are Dave.

TeenToTwenties · 10/02/2025 15:48

I worked with loads, I am in my 50s.

MadisonAvenue · 10/02/2025 15:48

I know a David.

The only Dave I know is a Bulldog!

TulipTuesday · 10/02/2025 15:49

BIL, DH’s uncle, best friend’s Dad. All Daves, never David.

SandalsandPools · 10/02/2025 15:50

I know a few Davids but no one who goes by Dave.

Lolypoly14 · 10/02/2025 15:51

Yes

3 people Dave’s and 1 cat Dave

Davros · 10/02/2025 15:52

I can think of 5 without trying too hard

ElsaSnow · 10/02/2025 15:52

Yes at least 4! One my uncle, one my old next door neighbour both in their 60s and then two my age - late 30s. They are all officially David but go by Dave. I also know a baby David (named after my uncle)!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/02/2025 15:53

True!

SandalsandPools · 10/02/2025 15:55

Thinking about it, I’m in Scotland and here, at least in my area, men called David tend to go by their full name or use Davey. I don’t think that I’ve ever encountered a Dave.

Rhythmisadancer · 10/02/2025 15:56

just about everyone I know is called David or Dave. Well the men at least

HelpMeGetThrough · 10/02/2025 15:56

I know a few.

One has the middle name Rodney 😁

Anotherdayanotherdollar · 10/02/2025 15:56

In Ireland they're all Davy's I think...

WifeImprovementWorksInProgress · 10/02/2025 15:57

Of course I know Dave. Tell him I said hi!

SabrinaThwaite · 10/02/2025 16:04

Went to school with a lot, but currently only know two Daves. One is a cat though.

SpringIsSprung25 · 10/02/2025 16:06

I know a David, a Dave and a Dai.

DramaAlpaca · 10/02/2025 16:06

My DH's three closest friends are all called Dave. DH is not called Dave. DH is known affectionately as 'the honorary Dave'.

ZookeeperSE · 10/02/2025 16:08

Nope! But I do know five Simons 🤷‍♀️

Verv · 10/02/2025 16:15

Multi-Daves - Dave, Dave Dave, Big nose Dave, Dave-O, and Davey

Sinkintotheswamp · 10/02/2025 16:16

Two middle aged and one teen.

MoonWoman69 · 10/02/2025 16:17

I know.. Edited to say 9! Forgot one! 🤣

KezzaMucklowe · 10/02/2025 16:17

I know a few, I've never met a bad Dave either.
