    Oh the power of branding............... Everyone's right !

    The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as “duck” tape (like water off a duck’s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless.

    After the War, the housing industry was booming and someone discovered that the tape was great for joining the heating and air conditioning duct work. So, the color was changed from army green to the silvery color we are familiar with today and people started to refer to it as “duct tape*.” Therefore, either name is appropriate.

    Today, Duck® brand Tape is manufactured by ShurTech.

                  Loathe as I am to trust Wikipedia as a source without looking at its own sources... it thinks you're only nearly right.

                  The name apparently has nothing to do with a metaphor - the name came from the material used - duck cloth.
                  Also, other stuff, like a different division being responsible.

                  But basically, yes, duck tape is the original name, duct tape came later.

                    Yes you are right, there was a load of stuff about the duck cloth, not just wiki, I just cut a load of info out - just wanted to point out everyone was right
