You still called it DDG. Even DDG kinda adds authenticity and some authority.

That doesn't even mean anything. The only reason DDG is an acronym is because it's easier to type. It sure isn't due to any marketing/branding effort on DDG's part, because ddg.com is an iOS app studio. Frankly I think DDG would be a better brand, not unlike other acronym bnrands like IBM or HP, but brands need to be built, not wished for.

It could be D^2G or D*2G or D2G

Seems unnecessary if it can simply be DDG, a true acronym for the same or less characters than your suggestion.

Yes, I find it's too long. I type all day and take shortcuts wherever I can. We all do; TL;DR, HN, if DDG it taken let them claim DDGO!
