Gerald, he was the 3rd Bishop of Southwark and loved Rugby. In his formative years he was a keen amature photographer and enjoyed nature walks, latterly he found god via an internet chat room and became engrossed in his spiritual side. This manifested itself in a deep and furious addiction to pringles salt n vinegar pocket packs. These were to be his undoing and he fatally overdosed on them whilst watching Channel4's The OC, while dressed as batman last wednesday week. His cremation will take place tuesday week at The New Hong Kong in Clerkenwell, Hoi Sin and pancake donations greatfully received. No flowers just cash to Bernard Matthews.

Most of them don't have proper names, with the exception of Donald, Daisy, and Daffy, who are called by those names.
If you mean what is the common variety of duck that is white, it is a Peking Duck.
If you mean the male he is called a "drake" and the female is just called a "duck"
