I wonder how many people don't use DDG (like me) because of the stupid (in my opinion) name. It's so impossible to remember and pronounce.

Whatever cool/hilarious/human reason they have for it (I don't care), I wish they also added another alias that is easy to remember and type.

I never type it because DDG is my default.

I think Google was a harder name to remember for non-nerds who weren't familiar with the rather obscure word.

There is a short alias: As someone else mentioned, duck.com redirects to duckduckgo.com

It’s a riff on the children’s game “duck duck goose”.

[simiones → metabagel]

The biggest problem is that it's the American (UK as well?) name for a children's game - not the sort of thing most English speakers would ever learn, unless they are really connected to US/UK culture.

The game is probably more or less universal, but the name is unrecognizable.

[metabagel → simiones]

I feel like it’s such an oddball name that it sticks in my head.

[quesera → metabagel]

Oddly, in some regions of the US, the same game is called "duck, duck, grey duck".

[NoGravitas → 323]

ddg.gg or duck.com are both easy to type. And I suppose duck.com is reasonably easy to remember.
