Apparently Google owned Duck.com ever since it acquired Duck Corp. in 2010[1], and only 2-ish years ago transferred the domain to DuckDuckGo.
However, Duck is rather generic-sounding and will require $$$ in ad-spend to get name recall. Even though it's awkward, DuckDuckGo is certainly memorable, sometimes that works in a product's favour.
