Nationallity of a name
Alright the lead singer of AFI (Davey Havok's) real name is "david Marchand" Hes very secretive but apparently from everything I found its 100% correct as the name "marchand" is even blurred out when said in the bands forum. The guy looks like this... http://nocturnaslair.homestead.com/files/davey05.jpghttp://nocturnaslair.homestead.com/files/davey12.jpgdunno if that helps. Im guessing its either french or italian based on the sound and just looking at him. Someone help me out please.

I personally have a family name that is close to thatMarchant and it's French (and a very old family name that hasn't been used in generations since my greatx5 Grams married) and means "merchant"... We pro. mar-shahn... Marchand looks incredibly similar and I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a different spelling of the same name.Hope that helps.
PS: Why do want to know this? If he's keeping it private wouldn't it be polite to respect his wishes?
