A Kabbalistic Synopsis

Dave likes to be in charge of his world, and chances are he will find himself in a relatively senior position early on in life. People are quite happy to be managed by Dave, as he has an air of professionalism about him that is reassuring to his coworkers. The total value of Dave's name is twenty-one, which can be represented by the letters Kaph and Aleph, meaning "hand" and "oxen", respectively. Taking these two letters together, we can see Dave as a director and organizer who has the drive and commitment to see any project through to a successful conclusion. While Dave is a great organizer, he is not so good at rolling his sleeves up and actually doing the mundane work. The final letters of his name represent fire and air, respectively, which tell us Dave is fired up by his ideas but likes that others implement them. This approach may cause him some difficulties in his emotional life, since it may translate into a reluctance to do his share in the domestic setting. Dave will have to be very careful not to take undue advantage of the partner who is willing to take on all responsibilities of running a house. However, Dave is great at relating to people, and he can be a great emotional support to his friends and family. With his lively brain, Dave can not only listen to people's problems but usually has a solution to offer as well.

The Runic Interpretation

Dave secretly believes that each of us has a pivotal moment in his life when luck shines upon us. His strategy, then, is to have a kind of openness and willingness to grasp the brass ring when it appears. Chances that this will happen are favorable based on Dave's assets, and Dave will indeed have his fondest dreams come true and live out his destiny. Fulfillment and satisfied ambition along with true love are the hallmarks of this name. Yet Dave must curb his lustful tendencies and channel his passion into endeavors of the arts or business, or his lascivious nature could well be a tragic flaw.

The Numerological Interpretation

The name Dave brings a sense of harmony and peace into a life that is filled with hard work and effort. Success on the material plane is very important to this man. He is one who strives after the fulfillment of his ambitions-but without having to step on other people's toes to reach his own aims in life. Dave has a high degree of energy and an eagerness to explore life. He is fun to be around, and people generally find him uplifting, supportive, and stimulating. He has the ability to make friends easily, and enjoys the pleasures of shared companionship. His direct manner could be taken as offensive by some, if it weren't for the fact that he is sincerely concerned about how others feel and is, by nature, a gentleman.
