Reason behind the Name

[Kathy farms]

The attachments to out ducks include naming them. What reason(s) account for this and does the name carry a special meaning?

.I have only named my roosters, since there have been too many hens to name. I started out with, "Killer", he was a white leghorn, and would go after anyone and everyone human. Then I aquired "Prince", he was a Bard Rock, really nice rooster, a rehome when some people had to move, he was old when I got him, he would crow at 2 a.m. Then came "Zorro", he was a Black Austrolorp, he was a rough guy, his hens hopped the fence to get away from him and went to live with, "Scooter", my RIR rooster, who is much kinder to his hens. Zorro lived by himself, and would attack whenever you had your badk turned. He passed away a few months ago, so only Scooter is left.

Now for the ducklings, I've 5 KC, that all look alike, but one or two stand out, as they are the first to come see what I have, first to eat out of my hand, havent really decided on a name for those two yet. I also have 5 WH, The first one that got a name in that bunch was the drake. He would never come running up to me when I entered the coop, unlike the others, he'd hang back, he'd never get in the little water dish either, he'd lay down beside it and dabble, I named him, Solo, Han Solo.
Then one of the WH hens has a yellow beak, so she is "Blondie". Then there is a small WH, so her name is "Tiny", That's as far as I've gotten with naming my ducks. No special reason, just named um as I saw behaviors, or characteristics

That's a great effort on your part. I have eight Muscovy ducks I got about a month ago that I'm yet to name. However, observing their antics daily give different ideas as to how they should be called eventually.
