Tips for Naming Your Duck
#1. Try to keep the names as short as you can, especially if there are many of them. It’ll help you remember and keep track of them all.
#2. Don’t put too much thought into it; the name will grow on both you and your animal over time from everyday use.
#3. If you’re stuck trying to decide, try calling out to the duck with a bunch of names. The first name to get a response from the animal is the winner.
#4. A duck may not be the brightest creature but it can hear you, so practice calling out to it by name as much as you can. It’ll help get the duck acquainted with its new name.
#5. If you’ve got a lot of ducks to name, ask someone to help you out with some of them.

You don’t have to be too ritualistic when it comes to picking duck names as long as they come from a place of love. After all, none of the names you pick will ever bother the duck.
