What is the stuffed duck's name?
Buddy
Why is it named that?
Despite what his name might suggest, Archie was far from brave as a child. Archie was always too nervous to join in on the roughhousing that most of the other young Dusties entertained themselves with, but he was not one who preferred to keep to his own devices either. He wanted a friend, that was certain. One who would be softer on him than the rowdy youngsters who always seemed to be getting themselves into trouble, but also one he could have fun with and wouldn't be a bore. One day, while Archie was walking next to a pond, he noticed a bright yellow object floating near the shore. This object was, of course, the stuffed duck, rather soggy and a bit scuffed up. Since Archie had always been rather fond of ducks (although they'd never really seemed interested in playing with him) and he felt rather bad that the duck had been left all alone, he decided to keep it.
Archie had quite a bit of fun with that duck. He spent the whole afternoon playing various games of make believe with it. It wasn't until the end of the day that Archie really realized that his duck didn't have a name. Deciding that needed to be fixed, Archie formally gave it a name—Buddy, for being a friend he actually enjoyed being around. It may be rather simplistic, but in Archie's young mind, it truly felt like the most special name in the world.
