Finding the Right Name for Your Duck

Deciding on a name as goofy and free as your duck or duckling might leave you feeling a bit quacky, but we hope that our list of over 100 duck names has given you some clarity. Whether you found a famous name, such as Donald or Daisy, fitting or thought an adorably obvious name, like Loony or Bill, suitable, we are sure you found names to add to your shortlist for all kinds of ducks!

If you are having trouble selecting just one, here are a few things to consider when filtering through your options:

  • Factor in the personality your duck or wee duckling has. Watch them interact with other ducks, or see how they eat or waddle. You might even consider the sound of their quack or the piddle paddle of their feet.
  • Test out your favorites on your sweet duck! Their reaction might give you a good indication that they like (or dislike) the way a name sounds. You might also try it in a few tones to see what types of results you get!
  • Ask a few of your trusted peers to give their input. If you are really stuck, a few outside opinions might help guide you in the right direction. We recommend keeping this to a small circle of people; too much input might confuse you even more.
  • Finally, love the name that you choose. Your duck or duckling will appreciate whichever name you pick. Truthfully, they may not even know it belongs to them, so follow your gut, trust your heart, and don’t be afraid to get creative! It should be a fun process so don’t overthink it, and enjoy your journey!

We hope these tips have helped steer you in the right direction. If not, below, we have linked a few pet posts that may give you additional inspiration to find the perfect name for your waddling bud!
