I teach second grade.
When I got to school this morning someone put a sassy little porch goose in a pumpkin costume outside of my room and I love her!
Like unreasonably love her.
I need a creative female goose name that is school appropriate. Any suggestions?

Greta Goose or Gerty Goose come to mind. Enjoy your goose!

Does the name of your school, town or your last name start with G? If so you may find a way to incorporate that into the name

Is the porch goose trending now? I've seen a few come across my insta feed. A cute one I just saw was "beetlegoose". He had a little wig and striped pants. Very cute!

I'd ask the students to submit name ideas and see what they come up with!
My ideas:
Georgie/Georgia
Greta Waddleington
Gabby Honksalot
Bianca - but say BiHONKa
Cardi Beak
Wilma Waddlesworth
Goosey Roll (like Jelly Roll)
Beakatrice

Pick some of your favorite names from these suggestions and have a student election. If you were so inclined you could make a mini lesson on voting. Not sure how old your students are.

I had to Google before I saw the picture that librarylady provided. I knew there were lawn ornaments of deer and flamingo and various critters but I didn’t know it was a thing to dress them up for the seasons. When I Googled there were links for places to purchase ready made outfits for them. I would have so much fun making my own outfits. One adorable picture had two of them in a dressed as Mary and Joseph in a little manger. I guess the limit is your own imagination. How fun! |

Lots of people had dressed up cement geese back then. Along with the entire goose-themed kitchens and bathrooms! In Dusty Rose and Country Blue. |

A home nearby has 3 geese strolling across the lawn. They have ensembles for every holiday. It is fun to see them.

I like Sassy. It's unlikely you will have a future student named Sassy embarrassed to share a name with your goose  |

I never saw a house with a single lawn ornament on display. Well, unless you count things like plastic reindeer at Christmas. It just wasn’t a Southern California thing. |
