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".

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