Tips for Naming Your Duck

Ducks make entertaining, lovable pets that are sure to make you smile. With some careful consideration, you can find a name perfectly suited for these friendly little birds. Whether your duck is a class clown or a dapper, proud bird, finding a name that reflects who they are will make the naming process all the more fun.

When picking out a name, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Depending on the species, ducks can live around 10 to 15 years. This means that whatever name you choose will, hopefully, be with you for the next decade or more. Naming a duck may give you some leeway to choose witty or funny names, but just be sure you are comfortable sharing this name with your family, friends, and others.

Keeping in mind your duck’s personality and appearance can help you find a name well-suited for your unique duck. Are they always making you laugh with their antics? Perhaps Daffy is a good name! Are they gentle, kind, and outright adorable? Maybe Waddles or Bubbles would make a good pick! Here are some more duck names to consider.
