Daisy's Sister's Name is Rosa, So Says Google

[Scrooge MacDuck]

If one types Daisy Duck Sister into the Google search engine (at least in France), one gets the following result: LINK. Which states authoritatively that Daisy's sister's name is Rosa. Which, actually, I like a lot; another 'floral' name, and there's a certain ring to “Rosa Duck”. 

But, of course, this comes from no actual canonical source, or even fanfiction. As you'll see if you look at the linked page closely, what happened is that Google's search engine misinterpreted the grammar of Daisy's Wikipedia page, specifically of a paragraph where Don Rosa's opinion on the matter of Daisy's sister are quoted. 

Still, I do like it, serendipitous though it was. Rosa Duck.

It said the same thing for me here in the United States. Searching "Daisy Duck sister" does indeed reveal a box that has the name "Rosa" in it in big letters as if it were her name. It certainly is a neat idea for a name, especially since it follows Daisy in a flower-based naming pattern, as you point out. Of course, we don't really know which of Daisy's sister this is referring to. I believe she's been indicated to have at least two.

I typed the search in the spirit of this being AMJ's mother.

This is what I had assumed. I was just simply pointing out that Google didn't claim AMJ's mother was named Rosa, just that Daisy's sister was named Rosa. That's not to say AMJ's mother is not named Rosa, it's just to say that this mistake on Google's behalf could be interpreted more than one way.

Anyway, what's the source of there being another sister? Some people don't want Dottie and Floretta to be AMJ's sisters and deduce the existence of a second sister from that, but is there anything more solid?

In YD 41-11-21, Daisy says she is running an errand for her sister. This in the context of a series of strips that show Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie visiting Gus on his farm while Daisy's niece Dottie is nearby. I suppose it isn't concrete evidence, but I think it makes most sense within the context of these strips that Daisy's sister mentioned here is Dottie's mother who lives close to Gus, who is shown as living in a rural area in these strips, as opposed to AMJ's mother who lives in an apartment in the city.

Makes sense.
