    My Annabelle turned out to be a drake! What do I name him?!

    A week ago my fawn and white runners hatched out a duckling that I lovingly called Annabelle. We vent sexed the babies today and learned that she was a 'he'. He's from Holderread lines and is absolutely beautiful and sweet. Any name ideas?
