Roz Names the Gosling Brightbill, Explained：eat those words
Roz searches for a name for the gosling, rejecting numbers because a name has to feel personal. The result, Brightbill, is one of the film's warmest beats. Later, a bedtime story is justified with a joke: "Storytelling is lying-adjacent, and I lie for a living."
あらすじ
On the island, the animals mock Paddler for trying to cut down the biggest tree, while Roz and Fink move into his home without asking. Roz then hunts for a name for the gosling and settles on Brightbill. At night, Fink tells the chick a bedtime story.

「Roz Names the Gosling Brightbill」を読み解く
What's really going on
The scene works on two levels at once. On the surface it is about naming a chick, and Roz's insistence that a name must be personal is both funny and quietly moving for a machine. Underneath, it is about what stories do: Fink, the fox who lies for a living, is the one who can soothe the gosling, and he says so outright — "Storytelling is lying-adjacent, and I lie for a living." The film is comfortable with the paradox that a made-up story can carry a true feeling. The closing joke, that a robot's emotional speech translates as "She loves you very much," makes the same point in reverse.

How does Roz choose the name Brightbill?
She decides a name has to be personal, rejects numbers, and processes the idea until the words bright and bill combine into Brightbill, the chick's new name.

Roz and Fink move into it while he is away, which makes him furious. His reaction lines up with the earlier jokes about him being the island's laughingstock.
