The Town Name Idea Thread

I named my WW town "Brookley", with "Brooklyn" in mind. It gave the town name this country-like feel, which worked with the "natural" feel of Animal Crossing.
I hope they give you more name space on New Leaf, as I would like to name my town "New Brook" or even "New Brookley".
In my head, that would feel like continuity in my own "world" of Animal Crossing.

Meanwhile, I have a friend who named his town "Dicks".

I'm gonna call my town either Apotos, Gagazet, Lanayru, Castelia, Panem or Mearmyan c:

Mine probably sounds really common but I named my town Paradise. Its a nice name in my opinion!

I will name mine Tovania

I'm thinking between Myuu or Maui..
I used them both in past games.

I can't decide.

In the past I've used the same few names (Shire, Gully, Lanikai, Forest)

This time I want a new name, here are five I'm torn between:
Oldstone
Bell Bay
Lockland
Marisol
Sherwood

I like Bell Bay and Marisol a lot, but i think Bell Bay is too long, or is it 8 characters? I don't remember

I like the town name TreeTop or maybe you could even name it NewLeaf... lol

I like Bell Bay a lot.

I can't decide between

Cinnabar/Cinnabay
and
Amarant/Amaranth

But I think I'll use the first one... what do you guys think, -bar or -bay?

Ah, and here are three other names I like (they're german because I'm from Germany):

Honigtal (Honey valley) -> my cf town
Minztal (Mint valley)
Zimttal (Cinnamon valley)

Cinnabar is great: go Pokemon! And I like it for that. But Cinnabay is an excellent twist.

But I'm partial to Bay names (I grew up in a place called Alexandria Bay, or A-Bay for short). And will probably end up calling my town "Bell Bay"

I really wish you could see what your town looks like before giving it a name. That way you could pick a name that best fits the layout. I do like how you get several layouts to choose from this time around, but still.

Ack! Sorry for the ramble: I'm going to go with Cinnabar, just because of the nostalgia associated with it, as the one that I like better. But it's your town. All the names you listed are pretty awesome!

I like Minztal the best! (I love mint and Germany's awesome, so yeah. )

Thank you both!

Yeah, right? When I chose the name for my cf town I thought 'Wait, don't use Minztal now, save that name for the new game'
Now I'm torn between that and Cinnabay/r...
(Un)fortunately there's still a lot of time to think about it... haha... orz

Ack! I just came up with another town name that I like:

Totoro

From: My Neighbor Totoro

Then there is the fact of the train station in the game. Totoro station is a train station in Japan.

So now I'm stuck choosing between:
- Bell Bay
- Totoro
- Whatever else I can come up with in the meantime.

I am going with Tsubaki. It's a Japanese word for a red Camellia flower meaning in love. I think it's sweet and I like how it sounds (I'm - (an aussie) - is pronouncing it Tiz-oo-back-ee. I am probably most defiantly pronouncing it wrong. XD). Like I said in my earlier post this year, I am going to make the town flag a Red Camellia, maybe even 'In Love' as a little title underneath. I think I am going to make the town the theme colour: red and a certain hybrid colour (as the theme colours of my town). Originally I said that I wanted to make a road made out of patterns with the Japanese characters of Tsubaki on them. But I realised I wanted to go with more of a natural look, with bucket loads of flowers, tropical trees and yeah. I really can't wait for the game, but am a little worried that I am going to be a bit busy next year since I am starting high school. I really don't want to put video games in front of getting my homework in on time... Oh well, my sis spends a lot of free time of Facebook, so I must have a fair share of spare time too... I guess I'll be alright...

I know it's off topic, but when I read these forums I keep reading: 'oh my boyfriend knows how obsessed I am with games', or 'my mum just bought me a Japanese 3Ds. She knows I am going to pay her back' or other things like that. None of my friends know that I like playing games and my family would defiantly not even suggest to buy a foreign device just to play a video game a couple of months early... Is anyone else feel a bit self conscious of playing these games? I feel people would think I'm a video game nerd... I know what you are going to say: 'Real friends will love you no matter what you do', but being a girl, it's not as 'normal' and accepted as being a boy.

Sorry for babbling on! And sorry for saying this in the wrong place! I tend to trail off to a new topic every time I talk..

I still can't decide between Lolani and Kona. Oh well. Plenty o' time left! XD

Cherrypie: (I put this in a spoiler since it's kinda off-topic)

Mine will be called Tears.

I might name my village Jazzwood or Jazzview. I'm not sure but I like jazz music so yeah.
