Ducky Pond

How in the world could you use his nickname as the header for the entry? His given name is "Raymond Pond". "Ducky" is a nickname, coined by Grantland Rice after Pond took a fumble against Harvard in a rainstorm and scored a 68 yard touchdown! Come on, man! Or woman!!

I am still shaking my head...

then putting my head in my hands about the header for this entry. How might it be changed?SLY111 (talk) 21:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)SLY111[reply]

Yes but... a.) it is unique, no disambiguation on a poset of Raymond Ponds b.) Humour is good and a part of all the best ie Britanica encyclopedias c.) the guy coached a college American football team for goodness sake! notability?

Laugh and the world laughs with you

Ducky Pond

Raymond "Ducky" Pond was very proud of his nickname and the use of it was more common to those who new him as family and friend is more than appropriate. In this case it would be approporaite to enter his given birth name as well as his nick name as that is how he is remembered and never forgotten. jeff@cwpond.com HES MY EFFING UNCLE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.123.252.2 (talk) 16:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SLY 111, here; couldn't log on from my laptop. And Ducky Pond still swims among the greats in Yale sports history. I thank his nephew for the appropriate comments and interest. When I was a "good little" football athlete at Horace Mann School, I knew of Ducky Pond. God rest his soul. 68.173.91.55 (talk) 17:18, 3 July 2011 (UTC)SLY111[reply]
