User Comments about the name David
Comment left May 06, 2010: "The kid sitting next to me has the name of David. He is a stud." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 22, 2010: "My daddy's name is David I think it suits him but I know like 20 other people named David so BLAHHHHH" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 19, 2009: "I used to go by Dave all the time, because for some odd reason I felt like only my parents and brothers 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." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 14, 2009: "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. Fortunately, 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!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 11, 2009: "my boyfriends name is david, and i love that name. its a classic name, but doesn't sound old fashioned. i love that its a biblical name too. i also have never met an ugly david. haha" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 09, 2009: "The ironic part with that comment is that Benji comes from Benjamin... which is also a Biblical name. ^^
There is something soft, yet strong about Davids that I've always appreciated." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 28, 2008: "There are lots of great names out there, but I love my name. There is something solid about it, without being barbaric. Courageous yet refined. I have a picture of the bust of Michelangelo's David tacked to the wall behind my dorm-room desk, and I often draw strength from my name when circumstances call for it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 22, 2008: "David is a common name for catholic or Christian people, my boyfriends name is david" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 21, 2008: "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 not 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 another note, 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 not me. Each person either makes their personal name Good or Bad in people's eyes by the kind of character that they display. I cannot answer for the bad character of others 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 dignity by my personal actions." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 16, 2008: "GOD said HE will give us a new name...
Since I was Baptised as David my life has been wonderful. Praise GOD!
When someone says, "I am David"
He is saying "I am Beloved"" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 10, 2008: "This is such a solid and great name. My son's name is David. He is a man of great character and strength, yet so sensitive and compassionate. David is a timeless name and I love the fact that you can't really change it around too much.....Dave or David, that's it!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 02, 2008: "My brother's name is David, my dad's name is david... my exboyfriend's name is david... my other friend is david... It's just way too common in New England!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 13, 2007: "its very traditional in the uk. but to be honest ive know so many davids and daves its just a really boring name to hear. i dont think people are using it as much now as a decade ago." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 23, 2007: "My name is David. There's nothing wrong with me, but everyone else who's name is David is ither annoying, fat, stupid, or a liar. The only exception is my dad. I love him. So I would say, if you're going to raise your kid right, name him David. If not, please don't add to a already bad-ish reputation." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 16, 2007: "This is my Grandfather's name. I think it's a great name, reminiscent of a great man of God in the Bible and great man of God in our own time (my grandfather). I am naming my son this. Everyone knows how to spell it, and how to say it - I don't think he'll run into many problems." (Report as inappropriate)
