Do you use your real name or a made up name?

[maarowak]

I resetted once with a made-up name and didn't like it at all. It was probably cooler but it felt weird.

I like my name (one of the few things I like about myself!), so I enjoy to be addressed by it. I like having an alter ego of sorts on games like AC!

 

[Ghost Soda]

I use my fake name cos my real name is lame. imo

 

[BlooBelle]

My real name, because I lack any sort of creativity.

I'm really considering resetting my town though, and if I do I'm using a fake name. c:

 

[ellabella12345]

Ive always used my nickname 'Ella' because my name is Daniella C:

 

[Togekiss]

I use my nicknames. Some of my friends call me Sapphie, others call me Luna. So, that's what I used to name both of my mayors.

 

[peachesandicecream]

Mayor my name Leeling
Bella School teacher
Benedict Shop owner/Villagers call him Ben
???? Hotel owner

 

[MatchaMoonlight]

I always use my real name. I dunno, it would feel weird to have my neighbours call me by something other than my real name.

I always use my real name. I dunno, it would feel weird to have my neighbours call me by something other than my real name.

Same here. Using my real name helps me feel connected to my town and villagers. Though I guess I am actually using the nickname of my real name (Jessie vs Jessica).

 

[euroR]

fake name =)

[Marlene]

I also us my real name, it's out of my not existing creativity :/

 

[DaCoSim]

My mayor is Midori after my parrot since my town is named birdsong, I thought it was fitting

 

[Ryoshiko]

I always get really annoyed because my real name is one letter too long to be my animal crossing name, Kassandra is my real name but I have to go by Kassy on my game because Kassandra wont fit and I just can't bring myself to shorten it by one letter like by calling myself Kasandra or Kassandr because that's not my name!
the other humans in my town are named for my husband and my Cat. I used to go by Thulhu in-game which is an online name I've used a lot but it's way better when a Cute animal runs up and calls you Mayor Kassy or K-bot... although right now their calling me Mega-K which I'm not sure if i like that

 

[thatawkwardkid]

I use my middle name.

 

[daniduckyface]

I use my real name. This is the first animal crossing game i've done that. I normally used made up names because i hated my name when i was younger

 

[Mayor_Sarah]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I restarted and I decided to use my real name, because like some said, it feels like the animals are actually talking to me.

Plus I have no clue what fake name to use. I don't have any nicknames or any specific names that I really like.

 

[Spooky.]

I always use my real names in games. I find it very confusing when people use nicknames in games because then I forget who people are.

 

[honeyaura]

In WW, I think I used my real name, Tiffany, or my nickname at the time Royale (long story).
Can't remember xD it's been a while. But now, I use my new nick/screen name "Honey".

 

[Rika092]

For my new town, since it has a japanese name and will be japanese themed, it just doesn't sound right without a japanese-named mayor. So I went with "Rika", which is always the in-game name I use (just so happens that it's also japanese hehe ^~^).

 

[DarkFox7]

I use my real name, makes the whole experience much more realistic. If I want to go by something else there's always nicknames that villagers call me, that I get to choose and switch up when I want.
