After my research I found the title Di to be used in both the Flemish and Welsh language.

I think it's Welsh for Dad (Dai). Ah my mistake - it's the We;sh equivalent of David. If he called them Bach too, it's not a reference to the composer, but a welsh term of affection meaning "little".

Well, there is a possibility that they were not calling him “Di” but they were asking him to "die" because he was too tight to spend some money for candies. Just a possibility…
