Doesn't matter much anyway since she calls me by my Japanese name.
David \d(a)-vid\ as a boy's name is pronounced DAY-vid. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of David is "beloved". Biblical: one of the most remarkable personalities in the Scriptures. David was a shepherd, musician, poet, soldier, statesman, prophet, and king. He wrote about half of the Psalms and very likely composed music for them as well. He is the only David mentioned in the Bible; his name occurs there more than a thousand times. Today there are variants of the name in almost every language group. Saint David (sixth century) is the patron saint of Wales. In Scotland, David was a royal name. See also Dawson and Davion. Explorer David Livingstone; actors David Niven, David Arquette, David Duchovny, David Schwimmer; baseball celebrity Dave Winfield; TV host David Letterman; musician David Bowie; soccer player David Beckham.Yep, they have hero complexes

Oh yeah, forgot to add that most people from non-English speaking countries tend to associate the name with the character from SpongeBob, or Gary Oak from Pokemon.....The name is Gary. I'm a Jr., and initially my parents were going to flip-flop my Dad's first name and middle name (Gary Wayne) into (Wayne Gary), but decided to make me a Jr. at the last second.
It's derived from Germanic (gar = spear) and somehow adding a "y" to the end of it makes it's meaning "spear bearer". It's also an acceptable Anglicized spelling of the Gaelic name "Garaidh", which is pronounced the same way.
The name was relatively rare until the old Hollywood star Gary Cooper became popular (who's real name was Frank, but changed it to the name of his agent's hometown - Gary, Indiana...which is also the hometown of Michael Jackson...coincidentally my brother's name is Michael
So yeah...it's pretty GAR
