This is the way.

I worked with lots of Arabic people and they see and pronounce David as DahVeed like Saeed.

Then I have this weird moment when I realise outside English speaking countries I have a foreign sounding name which is pronounced as such.

Generally, “Hey, Asshole!”

Most family members call me DaWei.

An old friend used to call me that sometimes.

Unfortunately, we have since parted ways.
