Daffy Duck:
Yours truly: (an old and particularly bad photo…)
I think you’ll agree that there is not much resemblance…
However, it can’t be denied that Dafyd can easily be shortened to Daf … which can then be easily lengthened to Daffy Duck.
I blame the parents.
I have had 9 months (if you take the end of my time at Nottingham High School as the end of June – which I do) of not having my name abbreviated to Daf and then elongated to Daffy Duck. However, during the run of the Birthday Party, the director, Jonny, picked up (admittedly by accident) that my name could easily be turned into this cartoon character, and now it is starting to stick…
Don’t even get me started on Little Britain…
