My Name is not Dave

Just a little rant…

My name is David, not Dave.  For some reason, seems like the majority of people want to call me Dave.  I have never given my name as Dave, I don’t go by Dave anywhere. It’s always David. Yet people insist on calling me Dave.  Dave is fine for other people’s names, I don’t hate the name itself, it’s just not MY name, and I wish folks would call me by my own name and not assume I use a shorthand version of it.

Can we just call you Double D or D squared? I hate it when people ask me why my name is Dick….

Well, at least we haven’t called him “Davey” yet. ;-)
