Ehhh. A bit too simple for a first name. I prefer David.

Dave Benton (real name Efren Eugene Benita) is an Aruban singer who represented Estonia in 2001 Eurovision with Tanel Padar and 2XL with the song "Everybody". They won the contest thus bringing the show to Estonia the next year.
This is a fairly recent one: Dave is the name of Satina's father in the recent web series "Satina". Satina is a half-breed, as Dave is a human and her mother, Lucia, is a demon.
Dave (his last name was never revealed) was one of the main characters in the popular CBC radio show "The Vinyl Cafe", hosted by Stuart McLean. The show was a telling of stories about Dave, his wife Morley, and children Stephanie and Sam (sometimes the stories don't feature them but they are definitely the main people). Dave owns a record store by the same name and is always getting in trouble (he once filled the school playground with frogs, etc). He is an awful liar (but he loves pranks) and probably has anxiety. The show ended after host Stuart McLean was diagnosed with cancer in 2015.
In 2018, 51 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Dave* who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 829th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens. *as a first name, not a nickname.
It's a weird position where people are named David but don't have Dave as a nickname. I feel like I'm supposed to know someone who goes by Dave but I jUsT DoN'T. Also I don't recommend naming your tiny heathen this if you're wondering, just have them be David.

Dave Murray is a heavy metal guitarist, working with Iron Maiden. He is known as one of the earliest members.
Dave Mustaine is a American thrash metal guitarist, known for being on the original lineup of Metallica then after being disbanded and forming Megadeth.
I think Dave is a pretty awesome name! It's rather informal, sure, but I think it is a bit of a time saver to call someone Dave instead of David. Also, I mostly think it's cool because it's my name. And I'm cool.
Two famous bearers:Dave Grohl (born 14 January 1969), drummer with Nirvana, now frontman and guitarist for the Foo Fighters.Dave Navarro (born 7 June 1967), guitarist for Jane's Addiction and, briefly, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
