Duck Name

[Yeddi]

Okay, we've just added two new ducks to the family. We've called the all white one Jemima Puddle Duck, but I'm lost on what to call the other. Ideas?

Our five chickens are called Nugget, Baked, Oporto, Ginger (used to be Nandos) and Lucy.

My dear nan, now in Heaven, had two ducks - one was Sir Lancelot, the other was Sir Archibald (they were bought off a bloke named Lance Archie).
For some reason the ducks' names give me a smile ...

Peking

A friend had a duck called that. Other friends' ducks have been Bobby and Gordon. I've always like the name Gordon for a duck.

Awesome suggestions thus far - keep them coming! I should say they are both girls. Drakes can... misdirect their love, so I'll get one when the kids are a little older, so will put the boy names aside for then.

Beckoes - According to law here, you only need 0.3 metres square per chicken (0.5 for ducks), and there are no rules about how far away they have to be from the fence or backdoor, so with a tractor or if you let them out occasionally you don't need that much space.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'll forward them to naming management aka DD and see which one we come up with.

Thanks to a comment by Beck saying no2. duck looked like she was wearing a hat, in combination with Junglemum's suggestion of needing a "Miss" we have our name.

Say hello to Jemima Puddle Duck and Miss Kippah (a Kippah being a Jewish Skull-cap). Thank you for all your suggestions. I also really like Fergus for when we get a Drake.

I think she needs to be called Miss (something)
Miss Lily?

Dunno why though?! Just seems to go with Jemima.

Wilma Waddle Duck goes nicely with the other name you have selected
