Is Davey/Davy too nicknamey?

I love the name [name]Davey[/name], but I sort of dislike [name]David[/name]. Is [name]Davey[/name]/[name]Davy[/name] an acceptable alternative? Is it too nicknamey? Is the [name]Davy[/name] [name]Jones[/name] association too much?

I think it’s personally too nicknamey to work as a first name. [name]Even[/name] [name]Dave[/name] nn [name]Davey[/name] would be slightly better.

[name]How[/name] about:

[name]Davis[/name]/[name]Davies[/name]
[name]Davin[/name]/[name]Devin[/name]/[name]Devon[/name] ([name]Davey[/name] could work as a nickname dependent on how you say them)
[name]Davidson[/name]
[name]Davison[/name]
Davinci (a bit pretentious, mind you)

There’s probably more names out there that [name]Davey[/name] could work as a nickname for, and I don’t think of [name]Davy[/name] [name]Jones[/name] at all.
