I haven't seen one of these anywhere, so I decided to make one of these.

So... use this thread to share some Town Name Ideas! Many often struggle to find some so this thread can serve as a help for this!
 
-Dumptown for Tier 6 villagers only
-Memoria for villagers you've obtained from previous games.
-Cloud 9 for colorful villagers
 
I use types of wood timber for my towns, villagers, islands etc. (for any game) and flower names or my own name for characters.

Sirius. for Star Themed/Astral Towns. Or just for a General Town Name.

Starbell. For General Use. Also can be used for Star Themed towns as well.

Solaris. Hmm... perhaps for a Mystical/Space themed Town. Or just in General as well.

Tundra. Water/Aquatic Themed. Perhaps it can be used for tropical towns.

oooh this is such a neat idea for a thread! here are a couple of my ideas:
- flower/tree/plant names (marigold, dandelion, sapling, elmwood, oakwood, maple)
- names of places from books/movies/video games (hogwarts, hyrule)
- real life places/cities/countries
- words from different languages (lune, soleil)
- foods (honeydew, bubblegum, tiramisu)
- colours (azure, auburn, ash) (oh and colours in french sound really nice too imo, like blanche, rose, rouge, jaune, vert)
- constellations/star names (sirius, big/small dipper, draco)
- times of day/different types of weather/natural phenomenons (dawn, dusk, twilight, sunshower, sunshine, mist, aurora, hurricane)
- take a word and add -ville, isle, -wood, -field, beach, etc. to the end

other town names that I think sound nice are:
- sundrop
- sugurdew
- sora (my town's name is sorarkhe aha)
- verdant
 
I've always used google translate for my town names

I use welsh as it's my second language and type in everyday words and it's usually something unique and cool~
 
Aelburn - general use maybe?

Party - balloon themed town

Frostfur - winter wonderland or general use
