Okay, so sometimes a novel will use, "What?" David said or "What?" said David.
Which is correct, or commonly used?
Thanks

Why my book collection loaded with "said + name". "name + said" is more common? What have I got myself through.
Is consistency really important here? I use both, judging by the sound of it each situation.
For instance, if you have many people in one conversation, and David has the last word, 'said David' seems definitely more appropriate to me.
Why? Not being snarky. I'm honestly curious.
I looked through my own stories and I use 'David said' most of the time, but when I need emphasis on something, especially at the end of a conversation, I use 'said David.'
