2 Davids but no Daves

As a Welsh person I know a lot of David’s and Dave’s and even a few that go by Dai 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 edited to add that one of the Dave’s is a cat 🐈

DebbieTheCat · 10/02/2025 16:19

At one point, I was going out with a David, my sister was with a Dafydd.
Both went by Dave 😁

Yes, ‘Flat Pack Dave’ for me. Clue’s in the name, he can build an ikea item blindfolded.

ACatAsleepInYourHat · 10/02/2025 16:20

I’m married to one!

Tdp123 · 10/02/2025 16:21

Fat Dave, Scottish Dave and Dangerous.

NewYearNewDietAgain · 10/02/2025 16:22

2 Dave's and a David.

MoonWoman69 · 10/02/2025 16:23

Oh done a recount! That's 10 now! And I know 2 Dangerous Daves! 🤣

TheodoraCrumpet · 10/02/2025 16:24

Of course. Dogs, men, boys.

MoonWoman69 · 10/02/2025 16:25

Oh no! Just remembered 2 more! Ones a Davie though! Jeez, you'd think you'd know how many you know, wouldn't you?! I'm sat here thinking, oh I forgot him... And I've just remembered 2 more, that's it, I'm packing in thinking now! 🤣

DebbieTheCat · 10/02/2025 16:25

Oh jealous of the Dangerous Daves.
We've got Builder Dave and Bellend Dave, who is DH's best mate...

Why are you blindfolding him? 🤔

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 10/02/2025 16:32

3 human Daves and a cat Dave.
Also knew a cat Fiona... no ones called Fiona anymore!

Fat Dave, Scottish Dave and Dangerous.

Poor Fat Dave.

DebbieTheCat · 10/02/2025 16:36

<Ahem!>

I love proper names for pets! (See username lol)
My friend's cat is called Cheryl, and my aunt's dog is called Bridget, which always cracks me up for some reason.
Our daft dog is a Roger 😄

Loads of them! It was a running joke at DHs work that they only employed Dave’s.
I’m related to at least 6.
No animals though, probably because their owners would already be called Dave and that’s a bit weird.

Boxingshibes · 10/02/2025 16:41

Our largest millipede is called Dave.
I can't think of any human ones.

Cattery · 10/02/2025 16:47

BIL

MiddleAgedDread · 10/02/2025 16:48

I have 5 Davids or Daves in my facebook friends and can easily think of at least 5 more. It's probably an age thing, they're all mid40's - mid50's but from all over the UK.

Enough4me · 10/02/2025 16:48

Yes, and I used to know a Davide (Dav-i-day)

MoonWoman69 · 10/02/2025 16:57

Our old cat was called Bob! And my auntie had a red setter called Donald, that always used to crack me up as a kid!!! 🤣

sprigatito · 10/02/2025 16:58

I know five

TigerRag · 10/02/2025 16:59

I have an uncle David and a cousin David. Both on different sides of the family. And 2 friends called Dave

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/02/2025 16:59

I only know 2 Daves, but 11 Sarahs, one being DSIS.

Ihateboris · 10/02/2025 17:00
