David Continuity Errors?

David is never referred to as David8 in either Prometheus or Covenant, however the marketing and official materials regarding Prometheus state this over and over, so I can only assume this to be canonical. David is the eighth generation of his kind, this might explain why the crew weren't all that impressed with him in Prometheus, they've seen it all before. If we are to go by this logic, why does Weyland regard this particular David as his own son? Is he programmed differently from the mass market edition?
Also Covenant begins with a scene in which David gives himself his name, we are led to believe that this is the David model from Prometheus. Does Weyland do that test in that room with every generation? It's not entirely implausible I suppose, there was a kind of ritualistic element to the scene.
What do you guys think?
Additionally: The other thing that always bugged me was the "Happy Birthday, David" video showed two blond Davids, which I know was probably done just for convenience and also to not confuse the audience, but it always stands out to me.
Indeed there are a few things they overlook for sure...
RS does make a lot of oversights... Not So Engineer, Engineers anyone? And so the whole David and Weyland Prologue was a error in a similar way... they should have given Guy Pearce Just for Men... as the Prologue Scene is set a few years after the Peter Weyland TED Talk.
As David Chooses his own name, then this Scene is likely in 2025 and David 1
