I demand a recount!

OK, I know we have Faldage and Flatlander and CapKiwi and Whitman O'Neill.... there are more who don't come to mind .... come out from the cracks and be counted.

And then we can get someone statistically-minded to do an analysis on the preponderances of Davids here. Surely there must be more to it than the popularity of David as a Judeo-Christian name?

If we were all born in the period 48-56, it would make sense. David was the most popular boy's name worldwide during that period (on average, of course!).



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

I think you'll find Mohammed more common

A quick Google brings up 7,390,000 entries for Dave, but a mere 30,000 for David.
Chris yielded 9,910,000 , and James a staggering 20,500,000!!

Transliteration, Shmansliteration!

*FWIW, Ænigma agrees with you, Kriegsführende Jugend.

Well, Chris has been among the top 6 most common names (at least in the US) since the 70s. We have a few Chris's here as well, Hyla, myself, and I'm guessing you due to the smiley face.

If you ever saw the Statue of David at Caesar's Atlantic City (or anywhere else) you would know why we are proud to be hung with that glorious name!

AnnaS said, I know we have ...WhitmanO'Neill

Oh, come on!...surely you know my first name is WaltEugene!
