243 Funny Names for Your Geese (Including for Popular Breeds)

If you own geese, especially if you’re just keeping a hobby flock, every single one of them needs a name. It’s important to help you keep track of them, and more importantly, it’s just plain fun and your birds deserve it.

But make no mistake: picking a name for a goose is serious business. It might be the most serious thing of all! A goose’s name should be appropriate, fitting, and most of all, funny. Because let’s face it, geese are indeed the silliest of all birds.

No matter what kind of inspiration you’re seeking for naming your geese, you are bound to find some cracking good and funny names on the list below. No more preamble—let’s get to it.

Funny Male

It’s been my experience that male geese are the ones most likely to get up to hijinks and cause trouble. Accordingly, they, more than the ladies, deserve a silly, funny name. Whether you want a fun pun, a nice twist of words, a pop culture reference, or anything else, the list of funny names below should help you dub the boys in your flock appropriately.

The following are good names you can let your kids pick from for their favorite geese, too, especially your sons and nephews who are bound to find all of them hilarious.

Funny Female

We aren’t leaving out the gals on our list, don’t you worry. Female geese are often just as mischievous as the males, and I’ve owned more than a few troublemakers that rated a pithy, punny, and funny name. Some are a fun spin on well-known celebrity names, others have added alliterative appeal, and still others are just plain fun.

If you’ve got any girls of your own, be sure to let them pick one of these names for their favorite goose in the flock, or their very own pet.

Scary

Do geese really rate a scary name? I sure think they do. Anyone who disagrees clearly hasn’t had a tangle with a ticked-off goose on the homestead or at the park. Geese are large, powerful, and often aggressive birds. In fact, they are confrontational and aggressive out of all proportion with their place on the food chain.

They hiss and flog and honk and flap and claw, and getting mobbed by a flock of them—or even a particularly hateful individual—is a harrowing experience.

Nonetheless, you’ve probably got one bad bird in your flock you still love or, for whatever reason, just can’t get rid of. Name them properly with a choice off the list below.

Cobra Chicken	Raptor
Viper	Doombeak
Fury	Honkzilla
The Ghost	The Vandal
The Menace	The Hissmaster
Nyx	Honkening
Honkulus	Darkwing
Goose on the Loose	Leviathan
Bonecrusher	Mastodon
Spike	Talon
Breaker	Savage
Wrathful	Crusher

Punny

In my opinion, the very, very best names for any animals, pets or otherwise, are good puns. Linguistic or conceptual, nothing lands quite as nicely as a pun. For those who appreciate the art of letters or just want to give their very favorite bird an unforgettable name, the ones below are sure to delight the most discerning keeper of waterfowl:

Waddle You Mean	Beak-a-Boo
Fowl Play	Goose Bump
Honkypedia	Feather Weather
Honk the Line	Eggstrordinary
Honkademy Award	Lord of the Wings
Wingit	Beakfast Club
Goose Almighty	Beak Brain
Quackademic	Goose Mode
The Incredible Honk

Cute

They might be commonplace, but there’s no denying that geese can be downright gorgeous animals, and among the most gorgeous birds in the entire animal kingdom. Some of them are also incredibly sweet.

Just ask any keeper who has owned a few, or multiple flocks over the course of their lives. Geese will bond with you and other people in your family, and can be as loving as any pet.

If you’ve got a real snuggle-bug bird in your flock or just one that you’re awfully sweet on, one of the cute names below is just what the doctor ordered.

Clover	Peppy
Queenie	Rosie
Cupcake	Muffin
Peanut	Gizmo
Squeaky	Snowflake
Nibbles	Snuggles
Pickles	Jellybean
Buttercup	Peachy
Blossom	Sunny

Historical

There’s something about a name based on a historical figure that just works for animals, including our geese. It’s just one of those things. One of these interesting names commands a certain amount of respect, or piques the interest of people that hear it.

Whether it is an inspired riff on a person’s name or the genuine article doesn’t make much difference. Some birds even seem to take on the character of these characters from history. See if one won’t be a perfect fit for a bird or two in your flock.

Napoleon	Blackbeard
Queen Elizabeth	Vincent Van Goose
Joan of Arcquack	Augoosetus
Goose Caesar	Gengeese Khan
Attila the Honk	Robert the Goose

Giving one of your birds a politically inspired name like those below can be a great way to show support for your own party, disdain for the other guys, or even break the ice a little bit with friends or relatives that might vote differently than you do. Life’s not that serious—have a little fun with it!
