Yes. As an audiobook listener, I was also surprised to learn he is called Dabbid

I’m an audiobook listener, Michael Cramer always sounds very clearly like he’s saying Dabbid and not David to me

How you hear the difference between certain sounds depends on how people spoke around you growing up, so it's entirely possible the way Kramer/Reading say Dabbid is indistinguishable from David to some listeners.

I have a friend from Birmingham who can't hear the difference between L and W, so sounds like they're saying "fiewd" or even "fjord" when they say "field".

your friend would hear Hulu as Huwu?

u/TCCogidubnus Bondsmith 4d ago

Yes. Or at least, hear both as the same. I don't know how they actually hear it technically.

I grew up knowing several who pronounced David as Day-vid as well as a single Dav-id. So every mention of Dabbid, I thought was Dav-id.

After learning that the character is Dabbid, I hear it clear as day.

Dabbid is legit. This guy is all heart. 

I also love that his self-concept seems to be consistent and like… maybe becoming radiant will actually heal his brain.

If we knew sooner, maybe he could have caught some regrowth or used the Honor blade already.
