is there a thread for being completely out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist
i'm looking up this show called "DAVE" (which at least is capitalized, you can't have a show called "DAVE" and not at least ironically capitalize it) and it turns out to star novelty rapper lil dicky
who i have also learned still exists
and also that he has hypospadias
also only about 10% of people with hypospadias are intersex
does anybody younger than 40 actually call themselves "DAVE"? it seems like one of those names like "Obadiah" which are currently reserved exclusively for villainous CEOs

you know, this has to be the longest clarification on a disambiguation page i've ever seen
This article is about the British rapper. For the American rapper from De La Soul, see David Jude Jolicoeur. For the TV series about a rapper called Dave, see Dave (TV series). For the Dutch singer, see Dave (singer)."Dave Omoregie" redirects here. For the Welsh track and field hurdler, see David Omoregie.
so anyway "dave" is still a name people have, that's good to know. like i said, i'm out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist!
having a radio station named dave reminds me of this mst3k sketch from... like, 30 years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUr32SI5YTE
i did listen to the rapper dave, lil dicky is one of those guys i wouldn't listen to based on his name. honestly these days i feel like making your rap name a brag about having a small penis would impress me, but ten years ago it didn't
there's also a banking app named dave. i'd say i wouldn't trust my money with anyone named "dave" but it seems to do some variation on loansharking, which ain't exactly about "trust". is "dave" not an intimidating name for a loanshark?

there are plenty of other reasons not to listen to lil fucking dicky
personally I don't know any daves myself only a couple of davids but I don't exactly seek them out. as a brand name it seems to project a sort of slumming homosocial mateyness which is always a good thing to be wary of. the UK channel name is very much "90s lad culture triangulated with tweeness and irony" which is a truly hideous cocktail. the dave watcher is very much what the kids would call a "type of guy" - he posts in facebook groups with names like "awfully british problems" and if he's not actually called dave he might as well be

On 28 October 2003, it was announced that UK Gold 2 would be relaunched and rebranded as UK G² on 12 November.[8] The newly revamped network was promoted as being an edgier alternative to UK Gold; airing programmes aimed at an 18-34 year-old youth audience.
they should change the name back to 'UK G²'

I've mentioned this before; started a whole thread about it, in fact. Back in high school a friend of mine and I tried to come up with the most boring band name possible and we settled on "Dave & the Boys."

otm, mike is fucking great
i'm sure there are other reasons to not listen to lil dicky but i've avoided him successfully enough based on his name alone that i don't know those reasons
i listened to a song by that popular rapper named dave. it was ok i guess.
tier ranking of daves in my music library:
great:brubeckdaviesdouglasgilmourhollandstewart (the one from hatfield and the north)van ronk
good:bixbygrusinmaconpikesucky (yes that's right, dave sucky is actually good)
mid:brockclarkday (from the monks)edmundslowe (did the soundtrack for "double dragon 2" on the C64)vanian
there are actually other daves in my library but i'm just gonna leave it at that
as far as non-musical associations there's dave winfield, who played for the yankees when i was a kid. i think i met him when he was doing a promotional appearance to tell kids to stay off drugs, which may or may not have been court-mandated. there's dave barry, who was a popular newspaper humor columnist back when there were such things as newspaper humor columns. they made a tv show named after him. harry anderson played him. it ran for four seasons. comedy tends to age poorly, and i suspect that dave barry's work is no exception. i loved his stuff when i was a kid.
and then there's dave chappelle.
moving on. this song is good. i like this song.

Name nerdery is its own thing, and this may not be the thread for it.
Nevertheless I knew a Thelma who recently died, and she is probably the last Thelma, Gertrude, Agatha, or Mildred I will ever know.
But you never know. If you had a preschooler in 2010 or so (as I did), the girls tended to sound like a Victorian ladies' sewing circle (Ella, Emma, Sophia) and the boys tended to sound like a union hall (Max, Sam, Nick).

I've got a single Y10 class (15yr olds, 24 of them) with 3 Sophies and a Sophia. Also an Emily, a Phoebe and a Lily.
I'm sure there are studies of this, but I always wonder what % of names (nicknames included) finish in a soft 'eeee' sound.
