ABOUT: What?
There's my name already ... sort of. But my whole name is David Avi Charles Leidner.
About that? My parents wanted to name me Avram and be able to call me Avi for short originally (which itself is a contraction of Avrahiem or Abraham as it became more commonly written and pronounced through Western culture), more because they liked the sound of Avi and thought the whole thing was kind of cool. But they were each from families with lineages of sort of 'normal-ish' names, though my dad's side had a certain propensity for making nicknames or inheriting them with age; for example, my grandmother and grandfather Pearl and Edward (Eddie) bcame to me known as Bubbie and Popop (not too uncommon with families of Semitic background), and had two sons, my father who is Joel and Uncle Charles (Chuck), but were nicknamed from childhood by some virtue of resemblance, with my uncle being a bit on the hefty side as a youngster, he was called Chunky (or uncle Chunky, which sounds close to Chuck anyways), and for some reason it was thought that my dad somehow resembled a potato spud when he was a baby (don't they all?) and was nicknamed Spuddy. So Avram was really sort of out left field (especially with my mothers' background being a sort of mellowed out, low-key, back-to-themayflower Florida Southern baptist), and overall seemingly odd-couple-ish enough for her to have converted to Judaism to marry my father who was already a devout and staunch ATHIEST with a capital everything. So, at least Avi was two-sylabel, and ended with a long 'E' vowel (sort of keeping a resonance with Spuddy and Chunky I guess), so that was pretty much resolved ... until the last minute when for some reason a concern arose about it maybe sounding or reading like it's too ethnic or something, and they also liked the name David, and ... put down both, but always called me Avi ... this led to a life of juggling. But all around, just by virtue f hearing I'm far mor familiar with being called Avi than David. So, when on soundcloud, go by the sound.
