    • 1994 Caroline Knapp, The Merry Recluse: A Life in Essays, Counterpoint Press 2004, →ISBN, page 169:
      David Copperfield. Dwight David Eisenhower. Michelangelo's David. None of these Davids would seem the same if their names were Dave. David, with its final "d", sounds finished and complete, whereas Dave just kind of hangs there in the air, indefinitely.
    • 2000 Anne Rice, Merrick, Ballantine Books (2001), →ISBN, page 157:
      Well, don't think I'll settle for so little, Mr. Talbot. Or should I call you David? I think you look like a David, you know, righteous and clean living and all of that.
  2. (biblical) The second king of Judah and Israel, the successor of Saul in the Old Testament.
  3. A patronymic surname common in Wales, in honor of the ancient Saint David of Wales.
