The Easter egg thing is worth mentioning in its physical appearance description, but the etymology is purely about the name of the thing. Neither of its names relate to Easter.

+{{nihongo||腹口|"Haraguchi"}} means "belly mouth" while {{nihongo||鶩|"ahiru"}} means "duck" in Japanese. The Ducky Goose's English name comes from "duck" and "goose", two different but closely related fowl who can swim using webbed feet as well as fly. "Ducky" can also be slang for "great" or "excellent".
- Ducky Goose's English name comes from "Duck" and "Goose", two different but closely related fowl who can swim using webbed feet as well as fly. The name is also a nod to the famous children's game "Duck, Duck, Goose", in which a group of kids sit in a circle while another one touches the others saying either duck or goose, and if it is the latter, then the kid who was tagged must tag the other kid before he or she takes his or her seat. Its design combines a duck and an Easter Egg, especially the plastic kind. The plastic kinds of Easter Eggs tend to have chocolate and other such goodies inside them, and Ducky Geese often summon all sorts of contraptions from within its second mouth, which are an allusion to those goodies. In gaming, however, an Easter Egg is a hidden goody that the players can find, ranging from a cameo of another franchise possibly owned by the same company or an item left by the development team as a joke of sorts.
