From www.davidgleason.com:

I was born after the Second World War in Cleveland,

Ohio as David Frackelton Gleason. My second given name, Eduardo,
was bestowed upon my baptism.

Now, only by searching church records could one contest or verify
this assertion; considering that there seems to be no accessible
evidence to the contrary, why do folks continue to question the
validity of this name?

Perhaps David could comment: was this moniker bestowed as 'Eduardo'
or 'Edward' or 'Edouard' or some other version of the name?

I should have check the archives of this N.G.; from a post by 'David
Eduardo' in Feb. 2007:

My mother selected the name, and the godparents "gave it" at the
ceremony... as in "they gave the response" That's the way it is
done. The priest asks the godparents, "and what name have you
selected..." and the godparents respond. The person who decided on
the name can be the parents, or the whole family, I suppose. In my
case, it was my mother... who used a name she liked from when she
lived in Europe whjich was, as required, also the name of a saint.

So why does this name-calling persist? Are the participants invested
in some Lemon-Mathau "Grumpy Old Men" style of rivalry? There are
never any emoticons or cues to the intensity of remarks so one can
only conclude that they are either done in animosity or in
poorly-constructed mock indignation, left up to the reader to deduce.

Well Michael you picked an odd time to bring this up seeing as it has
died down. Maybe you are just bored? Troll someplace else.
