Kevin/David Healy Mystery Solved - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

According to Wikipedia, David was meant to be his name on the series for the entire series. However, at the time of his introduction, Johnny was already playing a character named David on another show, so the producers changed his name to Kevin so that there would be no confusion. By the time of his second appearance on Roseanne, his other show was canceled so he was given the name David again. The line said by Roseanne in season 6 about David not being his real name was a joke, and only a joke.
