Thanks David vs Thanks, David

Both "thanks David" and "thanks, David" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Thanks David" is used when the phrase is being directed at David, as if it were a title or a direct address. On the other hand, "thanks, David" is used when the phrase is followed by a comma to separate the name, which is a more common and formal way of expressing gratitude.
