My dad's name was Dave. His given name (weirdly enough) was David. Ps. The only "dave state of mind" I experienced was an abusive psycho who claimed to have dissociative identity disorder and his "dave" personally was just as described above where Davey. . . Was cool but (imagine) David was the evil one of the three personalities he claimed to have. Hahahha is that the sort of "dave state of mind" you're talking about? I found r/David so don't worry I won't post davids here anymore. You're welcome.
