What did you name your island? And any inspirations?

I really wanted to name it "Echo Island" but that was too long, so I settled for "Maui." Not the most original name, but I like it.

Oh, that's cool! If I had another island, I would probably have named it "Destiny" Island after Kingdom Hearts

[Hesper]

Hesperides. The garden of the nymphs of sunset and the apples of immortality in Greek myth, a reference to the Hesper of Diane Duane's Young Wizards, and a lovely tropical-feeling name by itself.

I ended up going with the first thing that came to mind a few months back, Poveglia. Poveglia is an island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon in northern Italy. It was used as a quarantine zone in the late 1700s until 1814, and later featured a mental hospital. It's allegedly haunted, if you believe in that, and while there are plans to develop it, it currently sits abandoned.

I went with it because I like creepy stuff and wanted to use something that invokes that, and because try as I might, nothing else was really coming to me. That said, I'm not particularly comfortable with it; it feels like it takes the seriousness of the island's past too lightly, actively makes me think of quarantine, and with the plans for development on the island, it would eventually become an outdated reference. I had thought of using the name back before this whole thing exploded, so yeah.

I might restart once a friend gets the game (so I can have them hold my items) and rename it to something else. Problem is, I still don't know what I'd call it instead. Oh well.

I named my island Agrestis. My inspiration? I like latin words. Agrestis means wild, rural, rustic, fields, etc.

I wanted my island to be more rustic and rural. Almost natural and wild, like a field. It is going to be an incredibly amount of work to pull off, but I'm going to make people's jaws drop with this theme.

 

[ForbiddenSecrets]

Umbra. Because my NL town was called that and it was easy to keep using XD

 

[Bubblebeam]

Jubilife from Pokemon.

Floaroma from pokemon ~

That was one of my toss up options too. Also Goldenrod and Sandgem.

 

[Jacob]

[bunnieknife]

[CowKing]

I named mine after Zero Isle, an island in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers that contains 5 separate dungeons, each very difficult with their own challenges in them. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon was my childhood so of course I'll name my island after something from the games.

 

[tybalt_cake]

My island’s name is Chromatica , because that’s the name of the new album by Gaga , and also , in the same album everything is going to happen in a world called Chromatica.

 

[LoboUnderrated]

I named my island “Anetum” because I was looking up words in Latin that might sound cool, and it just stuck. What I really like is that Anetum is Latin for “dill” which I just find silly

 

[davidxrawr]

Island name: Plymouth
