It’s still such a poor choice of name.

The name google also sounds pretty retarded if you remove all the context from it.
Two syllable naming conventions will always prove dominant.

- Goo-gle

- Faceb-book

- Twit-ter

- Snap-chat

- Git-hub

The list goes on and on. Duck-Duck-Go is just a poorly thought through name and the fact it's 3 syllable just makes it worse. At least with Instagram you can abbreviate it (ins-ta).
