His middle name is "Dumas". I always thought it was "Sheldon"....

Well I'll be!! I thought it was Sheldon too!!

It's short for Dumb A--

I'm going to file that in the back part of my brain just in case I ever make it on Jeopardy and that is the Final Jeopardy Answer!

Well, I hate to disappoint y'all but even though you can't always rely on Wikipedia, I believe we can trust this.

"Daffy has no official middle name, but he has sometimes been given a "joke" middle name specific to the plot of a cartoon. In "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" (1949), he calls himself "Daffy Dumas Duck" as the writer of a swashbuckling script, a nod to Alexandre Dumas. Also, in the Baby Looney Tunes episode "The Tattletale", Granny addresses Daffy as "Daffy Horacio Tiberius Duck". In The Looney Tunes Show (2011), the joke middle names "Armando" and "Sheldon" are used."

I'm not sure what they thought the connection was between "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" and Alexandre Dumas because "The Scarlet Pimpernel" was written by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. Cartoons. Ya gotta love 'em.

I think you were right the first time Jerry, when you said it was short for Dumb A _ _.

Now it's looking like the "G" in "Fred G. Sanford"

Well they are a man and a duck of color.
