Not at all. There's a comedy film called Dave - that's fine.

In the UK we have an entire comedy TV channel that used to be called UK TV gold 2 (iirc) but a few years back they decided they'd be called 'Dave' as it's supposedly amusing.
Now everything seems to get called 'Dave' for some reason. smiley - rolleyes

Ha well. What can you do. I prefer David anyway smiley - smiley

"Dave" was a 1993 movie starring Kevin Kline as the President of the U.S.

Seriously, there is nothing remotely like the presumed alternative-royal-family film by that name in IMDB.

We have very different frames of reference in different parts of the world. smiley - erm

I looked up the TV Gold reference you gave, and found this buried among dozens of other stgairic projects:

Was that what you meant?

No

Let's say - I dunno - lest find an analogy.

Lets say, Comedy Central changed the entire channel name to Paulh because they thought your name is 'funny'.

How would you feel about that?

Sorry I have a feeling that you're still not going to get it as I've not made it plain.

Someone here suggested naming this decade 'Dave'

My name is David in reality - it already annoys me that someone decided my name was amusing enough to name an entire comedy TV cannel after my highly amusing name.

So I'm having a bit of a rant about it.

Can we move on now?

Sorry. I didn't understand until you explained. smiley - cheerup

I used to know a man named Harold Potter. he died a long time before Harry Potter came along. I wonder if he'd have gotten a kick out of having his name so famous. he probably would have, as he was an imaginative stage director [amateur, of course, as his actual job was that of guidance counselor]. He worked a lot of magic over the years smiley - biggrin

But if someone named a villain after me, I'd be somewhat upset. smiley - sadface

as for Harry Potter. A schoolfriend of mine is married to a mr Potter and they named their first son Harry. He's 3 years older than the first book and had a massive problem getting things like Facebook, twitter and Instagram to take it seriously enough to let him sign up.

On the other hand, people rarely forget his name
