What are you planning to name your island?

[peachblush]

My top three names atm are:
– blooming
– aisling (irish for 'dream')
– flowered

 

[Imbri]

I'm wavering between Felimath, one of the Lone Islands in Narnia and Deilf, Irish for dolphin (if my translation is correct. If I'm wrong, please give me the correct word).

 

[Hikari]

I'll be naming my town Timber, since that was the name of my OG Animal Crossing GCN town name. (Named after the street I grew up on as a kid.) I'll be making little "sub-districts" in the town named after various different trees (Rosewood, Ash, etc.)

I like the fact that we don't have to decide immediately on a name. I think I will choose a name that has something to do with the native fruit I get, but I'm not sure yet.

- pears: Pirumia (based on "pirum" --> pear)
- peaches: Persicia (based on "prunus persica" --> peach)
- oranges: Aurantia (based on "citrus aurantium" --> a type of orange)
- apples: Appelia or Appulia (based on "appel" or "appul" --> I think these are the Old German words for apple)
- cherries: Cerasia ("prunus cerasium" --> cherry) or Naprumia ("Naprumi" --> a type of cherry).

Of course, I also thought of some other names:
- Pomaria (from "pomarium" --> fruit garden)
- Linphea (where Flora from the Winx Club lives)
- Mariposa (butterfly)
- Arcadia
- Magnolia
- maybe another name of a flower/plant...

As you can see, I'd like to take an island name that ends with the letter "a". I think it would fit very well.

Where did you see we won't pick it right away? At what point do we pick it?

After the tutorial—which lasts about 30 minutes—you, Tom Nook and the other two villagers will sit around a little campfire. Nook will then suggest that you come up with a name for the Island.

Thank you!

I like using names similar to mythical places, and I want to use one that's specifically an island this time. Something related to Avalon would be cool... Avalon is "the isle of apple trees" so I'm researching the origin of the name to change it from "isle of apple trees" to "isle of orange trees" bc I'm resetting for oranges

I will probably spend the first 3 hours of release day second-guessing my decision lol. But my favorite idea for a name right now is Seafoam. =)

 

[pink]

I have no idea yet I have so ideas in mind. Most of the are kpop/music themed
-Aroha
-Astro
-Blooming/Blueming
-Beyond (this was the name of my first town in acnl)

 

[Sherra]

I have no ideas yet...

 

[Sander]

Hiraeth Island

Hiraeth - A homesickness for a home you can't return to, or that never was

 

[RisingSun]

I've decided on Moku Kukui. It means Light Island in the beautiful Hawaiian language.

 

[SheepMareep]

I panicked and thought of a million new names
So now my island is teacup not gardenia

 

[HoennMaster]

Laverre, based on Laverre City from Pokémon.

 

[Dim]

Might just end up naming my ACNH town Hoenn. I have nothing else. Except for Harmony but... ehh..

 

[GiantPenguinGod]

I’m thinking of naming my island Zerzura and naming my character Iri. Hoping to major it like a honeymoon oasis!

 

[Mioboi]

My town is currently named Genovia (from The Princess Diaries), which I quite like. But I also like Corona (from Tangled), and Medfield (from the classic live action Disney movies.) Too many options!!

Genovia was one of the first towns I had in NL! Lucky me it came with pears as the fruit, but then I sold it to Nook after while.

 

[Flare]

I was set on naming my island Corona... but then the virus came. :/

I don’t really have any other ideas right now.

That really is unfortunate.

Can’t say Corona isn’t catchy though >.>’

Splitpoint Island. Named after the lighthouse down by my beach house. I even have it tattooed on me haha.
