Could Quaquaval's name be based on the word quaquaversal? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/quaquaversal The description seems to fit well Magentafeelings (talk) 22:10, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Seems plausible esp when referring to its tail feathers. Anzasquiddles (talk) 05:27, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
I'd be interested to hear the pronunciation of Quaquaval in the anime or some other official source. The pronunciation of quaquaversal seems like it would be different from Quaquaval, which leads me to think it isn't intentional. Landfish7 07:48, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
The pronunciation given by Collins Dictionary for quaquaversal here seems to match most pronunciations for Quaquaval that I've seen/heard Link here - unsigned comment from Magentafeelings (talkcontribs)
Quaxly looked like a mixture of huey/dewey/louie (from ducktales) and a sailor, so when i first saw quavaval's name, i pronounced it "qua-QUAY-vull" like "naval" (and still do to this day) bc i thought it was a sailor. honestly, id much prefer a sailor quaquaval over a gay duck.
