I'm not a native English speaker and "duck duck go" doesn't evoke anything at all to me. I learned the reference from your comment even though I've been using DDG for years.
If they want to expand to non-English speaking countries having a long and somewhat complicated name like "duckduckgo" seems like a liability.
- rpeden 8y agoYou could certainly be right! Maybe it is one of those names that could endear your company to a certain audience, but alienate it to a wider audience.
- basil-rash 8y agoI am a native English speaker, and I played duck duck goose as a kid, and I didn't make the connection until just now. Part of the reason I use Bing is the name is nicer in my head. Also the background images are cool (it's my homepage).
