Guess what people have gone to war over religion, to make such a big association will not make any sense. I think that is why david is prince charaming name in our world since it is indicating that Prince charming isn't David from the bible. That the diffrence between the King David story, and story like king Midas, Frankenstein, and alice and Wonderland.

I don't mean to disrespect anyone you can think what you want, I just giving you a view point  of a possible consequence of what can happen if that is the case. And my main reasoning to why I don't think it is. You can think what you want, and are entitle to your opinion. There are many hints are many hints, that Prince Charming is based on King David. It is not just him being a shepherd. It is not a coincidence that his name is David, in Storybrooke.

Prince Charming's mother's name was Ruth, the name of King David's great-grandmother. OUaT changed the name of King Midas' daughter to Abigail, the name of King David's second wife. King George tried to kill Charming on multiple occasions, similarly King Saul tried to kill David multiple times. The list goes on.... besides, Josh Dallas said that Prince Charming's real name is obvious.

Not every character on OUaT is based on solely fairytales. They are based on classic stories, the Pilot confirmed this.
