What about "eendje"?
That is a tiny/cute duck or a duck you love. Not a duckling. -je is for expressing love/friendship. Like the Japanese -chan. WannaBeHillBillychan or WannaBeHillBillytje. When you are -je/tje is a sign of affection and not that you are suddenly a child. Belgians use the word 'pul' for a duckling but we don't have a word. "eend-je' is just a duck you love. We use baby eend or baby eendje (baby for the age; -je depending on how the seller feels about the ducklings :') )
Long story short; I am still not calling you WannaBeHillBillytje so you better work boooi!
