The most famous David in New Zealand is David Bain, who, aged 22, was convicted of murdering five of his family members in 1994 and was imprisoned for 13 years before finally getting a retrial where he was acquitted of all charges (the most expensive trial in NZ history).

@Quizmaster appears to be expressing acute Niles-ism—a condition often mistaken for nihilism, except instead of believing in nothing, the patient believes Niles means nothing. This is typically a defense mechanism where one unconsciously avoids refined taste, emotional insight, and sherry. Recommend treatment via gradual exposure… perhaps starting with opera tickets.

David Bowie's real name was David Jones. He adopted a stage name to avoid confusion with Davy Jones from the Monkees. I tried Jones to see if it would be accepted as a type-in for Bowie. It wasn't accepted for Bowie, but it did get me the bottom of the sea answer.
