My brother was a David and from teens on into adulthood most people called him Davo.

Just call him David. Why does it need a nickname?

I'd pronounce it "dye" like you pronounce dai in Italian, meaning "come on!"

Pronounced “day” or “die”. I like die - sounds like Kai.

I don't love Dai/Day. Hey Day!

Most David's know are called David, which I like a lot.

Seems fine to me but I’ve heard it before as a welsh nickname. People can get used to anything. If someone can call their kid Tripp or Trey, you can call your kid Dai.

How the hell do you pronounce this? Sounds like you're trying to out-clever everyone else.

I’d never heard it as a nickname for David until her. Everyone else calls him Dave.


Should be Dye so its her own thing:

Dai sounds more like the shortened name that Mom uses when asking you to unload the dishwasher rather. My name is Tina. My family calls me Tin (Teen?) very often but would never introduce me that way.
