How to pick the right name
Match the name to the wardrobe
If your goose wears a different outfit every month, pick a name with a big personality (Lucy Goosey, Goose Almighty) and give each outfit its own nickname from the seasonal list.
Say it out loud from the street
A porch goose is a public joke. The best names land in one second: two or three syllables, one pun, no explanation needed.
Put the name on a sign
A small chalkboard or wooden tag with the goose's name turns a decoration into a neighborhood character. Neighbors will start greeting it by name.
Keep it porch-friendly
Children walk past your porch too. Every name on this page is clean, and the funniest ones usually are.
