It's known as "eend" in the Netherlands, or even "lelijk eendje". You could translate this to "ugly duck(lin)", hence "duck". I do think however "duck" is less commonly used than "ugly ducklin" for the 2CV. [[User:Wzzrd|Wzzrd]] 15:44 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) |

where is the Citroen 2CV known as "Duck"? -- Hotlorp
Not sure about other places, but it is nicknamed "Ente" in Germany, which means "duck" in German. It does not have such a nickname in France - User:Olivier
See article nicknamed "Deuche" in France never heard Duck maybe it's some bad phonetics for "Deuche" Ericd 13:32 Sep 17, 2002 (UTC)
