When I was young if I was naughty my Gran would always call me 'David', instead of the usual 'Dave'. Flasheart does it to annoy me (works!), as do a few other friends, especially when I do something 'bad'. Same went for my Gran when she was a kid, her parents called her 'Edi' but when she was naughty it was 'Edith!' - she always knew when she'd been naughty.

Of course telling you lot this will just result in more 'David!' but at least I know who to kill! :twisted:

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    I too hate being called David... but that's coz my name's Alex. When people call me David I tend to ignore them.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Ok, Dai, or Daio, as we say.

    Llanwnda, one in Gwynedd and one in West Wales, is "The place of David" apparently.

    I hate being called Edith
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    There was a bloke at work and his name was

    David David.

    Always thought it showed a little lack of imagination on behalf of his parents.

    I had a Manager once, Michael Michaels. he was Greek, perhaps something was lost in translation. I hate people who abbreviate my name (which isnt Stewie Griffin), it sounds so common :roll: . My Mum is Irish, so I got called by both of the Saints names that look after me when I was about to get a clip around the ear.

    Very common in Wales along with Evan Evans, William Williams etc. but then we never did have much imagination :lol:

    yep. the more trouble I was in the more of my name got yelled out of the back door at me.

    same now, the Mrs uses the wife look as a warning shot and then my full name for when I ignore her and carry on regardless.

    I was at school with a lad called Richard Richardson

    I knew a Jenny Taylor (Genitalia)... I'm not sure if she ever worked out the school boy smuttiness of her name. I also knew a Gregory Greig... where is he now I wonder?

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.
