Did you name your islander after yourself?

[Firesquids]

I sometimes name game characters after myself but my ACNL mayor and ACNH rep are named "Roxie" which is a name I randomly thought up when entering fake names into the scoring system at a blowing alley.

 

[Seastar]

Yes and no. I don't like my real name so I picked a name I'd rather go by.

 

[Sprigatito]

I did name my islander after myself. I've tried to give myself different names in the past but it always felt weird to me for some reason.

 

[deana]

I did name my character after myself. Living out my home owner fantasy lol

I don't really have any go-to names to use for games so I use my name most everywhere and AC is no exception.

 

[CylieDanny]

Nope I never do that, one time I used another name I go by. But never my birth name,

[Chris]

Yes and no.

I've legally changed my name since ACNH came out. That means that my name wasn't Chris when I made my island rep in March 2020, but it is now. I officially changed my name to Christian in June 2021. I used video games to trial the name before using it in real life and ACNH and TBT was what helped me decide, "yep, this is my name."

 

[Mr_Keroppi]

In every Animal Crossing game I name my character after myself! I love my name and making my character look chic and trendy JUST LIKE ME SUPER HAPPINESS!

 

[gigii]

ofc! but in my old acnl town i named myself cupcake (dont ask why xD)

 

[Mayor Fia]

Nope. I choose the name Fia when I started NL because I knew I would be using online play and my real name is too unique to use. Plus in the older games I used my middle name which is also unique so I used a random generator until I come across the name Fia.

 

[Totally_RandomYT]

my real name starts with a B, so my name is "Bdawg" so kinda?

 

[ali.di.magix]

It doesn't feel right to me when I don't use my real name or nickname in games, so I used my real nickname.

 

[VanitasFan26]

No I just named them after the characters from Kingdom Hearts. I never use my real name because personal reasons.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Nah, I never use my real name in games, even in games without online functionality. I just went with names I really like for NL and NH—although since I'd already been on TBT a while as Merielle when I got New Horizons, that definitely factored into giving my island rep the same name.

 

[Shiny Shiny Engine]

no my deadname should be dead

 

[Moonlight.]

i'm not a huge fan of my irl name (kaitlyn) but i went with it anyway because i treat animal crossing as an escape and it feels more "right" to use my real name. i like to pretend my villagers are actually talking to me tbh

 

[kayleee]

Yeah I always use my name in Animal Crossing

 

[Halloqueen]

I don't play video games as myself, so no. I always pick different names because I'd rather the characters be their own people.

 

[Faux]

Nope! I used a name I've used in every single AC I've played to date - Leiona.
I love trying to recreate her in every game, and I pretend she's moving each time. :>

 

[MadisonBristol]

Yeah. I named my character Madison before I came out to my family, saying it's just a random name I chose. Though now I'm out, so everybody I play AC with knows I'm Madison. I'm not really creative enough to name them something else.
