Baby David

Definitely David. DH is one and when people call him Dave (often pronounced Dive) it makes my ears shrivel.

David

You can always use Dave as a nickname

People will assume his full name is David anyway

TwitterQueen1 · 23/11/2016 13:40

Because Dave is now a TV channel I definitely wouldn't call him that!

David is lovely though.

Definitely David, Dave is a salesman, circa that Fry and Laurie tv series.

IamScarfaceClaw · 23/11/2016 18:45

How about Davy? (Day-vee)

FoulMouthedIlliterateHarridan · 23/11/2016 18:48

David, then you/he can shorten it how he likes.

Pidlan · 23/11/2016 18:54

Oooooh Davy is lovely Scarface!

maitaimojito · 23/11/2016 18:56

Like David but really dislike Dave.

Baby David

Dave is a 40 year old man with a receding hair line and a beer belly.

I have two David's in my family, neither are shortened to Dave

Baby David Grin

Not sure of either, to be honest....

Buntysoven · 24/11/2016 00:54

You're my wife now Dave. Definitely David Grin

CelestialLight · 24/11/2016 04:42

Both awful.

TheDowagerCuntess · 24/11/2016 05:06

David is a classic, albeit currently somewhat dated, name.

Dave is a name that doesn't do anyone any favours.

Gruffalosfriend · 24/11/2016 13:02

David is a great underused name!

I don't like Dave or even less Davy, sorry.

TownMouseCuntMouse · 24/11/2016 13:49

Baby Dave!!! 😂 Absolutely /crying/ laughing at that...tbf, I suppose lots of babies do look like Daves, with the baldness, pot bellies, etc...

Pringlesandwine · 24/11/2016 13:53

David.

For some reason I just really dislike the shortening to dave!
