What?

"Suzutsuki" is how her name is transliterated in English, not -duki which created "ducky" nickname. So I want to nickname her with a different word but still keeping the bird theme. "swan" is a decent choice because her main color is white and the word sounds not too different from "suzu".

But well, this method is not gonna work in the future, when other Akizuki-classes are implemented to the game though...

In the same way "Akiduki", "Teruduki", "Hatuduki" and "Suzuduki" are a valid romanization of their kanji.

Technically speaking, no, Suzutsuki is pronounced tsu [t͡sɯ̟ᵝ] and not du/dzu/zu [d͡ʑɯ̟ᵝ] - the vagaries of rendaku, sequential voicing. This actually goes for many of the Akizuki-class, we just happened to get three ducks.

One of the reason is Suzutsuki is written as すずつき in Hiragana, not すずづき.

What?

I don't know who first had the idea to liken Suzutsuki to a swan, but it was a brilliant call. It really suits her image perfectly.
Except that makes the rest of them colored swans instead of ducks. *imagining black swan and brown flamingo*

One of the reason is Suzutsuki is written as すずつき in Hiragana, not すずづき.
Other three use -づき which is romanized as -duki or -zuki.

There are different romanization systems depending on where you study Japanese. For example some people think "Hatune Miku" is a typo, the truth is that's how some Japanese romanize their language: under a different system standard.

In the same way "Akiduki", "Teruduki", "Hatuduki" and "Suzuduki" are a valid romanization of their kanji. Yet western people could pronounce "duki" as "ducky" because it's more familiar to them, hence the nickname.

Excuse me, i'm a bit out of loop here.

What's the correlation between Akizuki-class and duck?

Akiduki is technically a valid romanization. And then the anime happened and you had Kongou calling Fubuki "Bucky" so "Ducky" kind of naturally followed.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it was that kanji which means zuki you can read as duck so people called them Akiducky instead of Akizuki. But as I said not 100% sure.

^ I think Suzutsuki's are just a bit smaller than they appear here, thanks to her leaning forward and pressing 'em in
