Do you share names/nicknames with any villagers?

[Korichi]

Hi! I was wondering if you guys or anyone else you know might share names with any villagers! ^^

I share a nickname with Cookie the peppy dog! My siblings and I also call our dad, ‘Papi’ (who’s zodiac is also the horse pfftgh) so it was hilarious when I saw Papi the lazy horse greet me when I was map resetting for my town.

What about you guys? Do you have any funny experiences with this?

I share the name Maddie with the peppy dog. She's brown and wears a plaid shirt.. my hair is also brown and I tend to wear a ton of plaid. Unfortunately she was created in 2001 and I was born in 2002, but close enough.

My dad shares a name with Marshal the squirrel. Shortly after I started playing, long before I found this forum and knew about popularity tiers, I had Marshal in my campsite. I saw his expression and name and said, "Nope!" The last thing I wanted was my angry father living in my town.

Since then, I've seen people gush over him, and I can kind of see why others think he's cute now. But I still think of my dad every time I see him and we do not have a good relationship, so I steer clear of him.

Now that I think about it, my dad's name is Robert, which is very similar to Frobert.

In the japanese version of animal crossing, I share the same name with Pecan. (Rebecca.) But other than that, I don't share any names with any villagers in english. Neither do any of my other family members tbh.

I share the name Ava with the normal chicken. I think I've had her in my town once. Kinda sucks tho, I don't really like chicken villagers.

I share a name with Benjamin. I waited for years to share a name with a villager and was so excited when I saw there was finally one named Benjamin, but that dog is an absolute monstrosity. The fact that I'm never going to have a cute villager share my name makes me hate him that much more.

Despite that, all the Bens/Benjamins in other languages are actually decent: Tank (Ben in French), Walker (Ben in Japanese), and Bam (Benjamin in German). I love Bam and Walker if I shared my name with either of them in the English version, they might actually be my favourite villager now. Just my luck I guess.

I don't share names with villagers, but when I named my town Willow I didn't know that there was also a sheep villager called Willow. It'd be funny to have her in my town since she'd be Willow living in Willow.

I share a name with the German Pancetti, named Brigitte. She's a sort-of-ugly pig villager, as luck would have it -___-

Celeste for me. Fortunately owls are my favorite animals and she's cute, so I don't mind sharing my name with her.
