[Opinions] Re: David vs Alden
in reply to a message by John
Alden, I would not want to risk that David would become a Dave.

Good point, I don't hate Dave or anything but it's very much a name for Some Guy and not something I'd want for my son lol. And I've never met a David who was able to go by David, everyone hears David and automatically starts calling them Dave. Maybe it's different now though-- I know my generation switched James from "automatically Jim" to "usually called James" so maybe the same thing happened or will happen to David.
