There's a sweet little boy at Leyland's school named Case. He was in K4 this past year, while Leyland was in K3. I met his mom a few weeks ago when I was at the school, and we struck up a conversation. Case came wandering over, and I introduced myself as Leyland's grandma. His mom's eyes lit up and she said "Who?" I told her again, and she started laughing. She said that they have a duck named Leyland at their house. They adopted a baby duck a little while back and Case insisted that he wanted to name it Leyland. She assured him that Leyland was a beautiful name, but wherever on earth did he come up with that? He told her there was a little girl in K3 with that name, and that is what he wanted to name his duck. She was tickled to learn that Case's duck was indeed named after a real person. How cute is that. What girl wouldn't be thrilled to know that a boy named his pet duck after her??? I never had a duck named after me, did you??
I do remember from childhood that my uncle Ricky once had a duck named Gertrude. I'm fairly certain he didn't name her after a cute girl at school, though.
