Match the name to the wardrobe

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.
