My name is David, when I was born in 1973 it topped the boy baby name list. I never really liked my name and always wondered why my parents named me David. I asked them once and they told me they just liked the name. The other males in my family all have Irish first names as we are of Irish descent. When I turned 50 for some reason I started to have a new respect for my parents decision and am now grateful my parents chose the name, but I still wonder why they chose it.

I am David. My mother named me after King David of the bible. She taught me that this king's name meant 'beloved of God'. She also said that even'though this king made mistakes, he did n't let those mistakes keep him from getting right back up and moving forward again, and that he came to be known as one of the most successful and loved rulers. My mother wanted me to be reminded that when I'made mistakes I should draw up courage and pick myself up and move forward, and I always have. Thanks to my Mom for giving me such a dignified name and with it a sure heading in life. On an'ther n'te, many of my freinds just call me Dave and I like that they are comfortable enough with me to do so. I am proud of my name and it has served me well. I'm okay with there being other Davids. They are n't me. Each person either makes their personal name Good or Bad in people's eyes by the kind of character that they display. I cann't answer for the bad character of othe's who have this name, nor can I stand on'the laurels of those Good persons with this name. Yet I hope that I am giving this name dign'ty by my personal actions.

I love the name David! It's my brother's name. But I hate the name Dave and almost everyone calls my brother Dave. It's annoying for me. Only I call him David and It's a beautiful, manly and strong name, but there is also something cute and calm in it. My grandson have middle name David. I love Biblical names, my name is also biblical (Judith), and all my children and almost all grandchildren has biblical names like me, my brother, my mum and my younger'sister. It's great.

My father is named David, and my husband is a David, and I am going to name my first son David. It may be a common name, but that's because it is so good! Honestly - David will never go out of style (It's been "current" for thousands of years) and is name an adult wouldn't be ashamed of.

I don't think one can go wrong with "David," or a variation'thereof. But take it from me, Dave, when I say that I have never been a part of a group setting - school, Little League, work - where there wasn't at least two other Daves or Davids. I love the name, mostly because of its tried-and-true n'ture, but it can get tiresome turning your head every time someone says it aloud.

I was born at the end of the baby boom, when David was nearing its peak in popularity. I have never liked it -- wayyy too common. Once I went on a camping trip with 13 other'strangers (friends of my aunt), and 3 of us were named David, out of a total of 13 campers. I think Dave is more casual than David, but even'then, It's frustrating to have so many other guys called David around. Fortun'tely, on Facebook, there is only one other David with my same last name. On'the other hand, my brother Joel has dozens of people with the'same first name, even'though Joel is much less common'than David. I am glad, however, that at least David is a Hebrew-derived first name, as I am Jewish!

This is my grandmother's middle name, and was her grandmother's first name, and upon doing genealogy, i've found that almost every generation of my family had a Sabina in it going back to the late 1600's in England. It is also, coincidentally, the name of the church I attended when I was a child (my family was not from the area that the church was in). i've long thought that if I have a daughter, I'd like to name her'sabina. I have always heard it pronounced "Sah-bye-nah", incidentally.

My Name is David. I love the name. King David was, as described by the Lord himself " A Man after God's own Heart." I do n't like to be called "DAVE". I only answer to David. If some one calls me "DAVE" I politely correct them and if they still call me "Dave", I ignore them or call them some weird form of their name they don't like to make my point.

I used to go by Dave all the time, because for some odd reason I felt like only my parents and brothe's should call me David. I sort of felt like if anyone else did, it was condescending or something. Foolish of me, I know. Well I'm nearly thirty now, and i've only been introducing myself as David for about the last year. I'much prefer to go by David. Whenever'someone who i've met calls me Dave, I usually reply "Who's Dave❤️" hehehe. Then'they call me David, and I'd rather that anyway. :) Also, it is very humbling to have the'same name as the great ancestor of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'must try very heard to live up to this great name.

When parents cann't think of a baby name in'the hospital while they are filling the paperwork to get birth records, social security cards, etc. for their baby, the government goes ahead and fills the first name as "baby" and the parents change it later. All in all it looks like the indecisiveness of having to find the "perfect" name has gone down.
