Hey, David - my name was almost David, too, before I was born. That year, the popular thing was Davy Crockett. My mother told me people would come to see her before she had given birth, and ask "How's little Davy?" She hated it so much, that on the day I was born she changed it to something else.

That's kind of a shame; I like the name David. I could have handled being a Dave.
