Have you ever seen someone's town name and cringed?

[Stacie]

Although no ones said it to me, I'm sure people have groaned over my town name.

I met a guy on the Island who's name was Lucifer, and his town name was Hell.I went to his town to give him the red horned hat.He had a satanic flag too.When I walked off the train it said "welcome to Hell".That made me cringe.He said it was a joke, but I really didn't like it.

Someone with that particular town name was offering one of my dreamies for adoption and I passed because I didn't want hear my villager reminding me of the days when he lived in Hell!

That would be hilarious!: "Oh, Mayor, I had such a lovely time in Hell! Lucifer was my best friend there." <3

I agree with the Hyrule town name. It's just so uncreative.

 

[Hot]

Meh. Every town with more than one accented letter annoys me, but I don't physically cringe.

-vile towns. Same for -dele. I understand that there's a character limit but it's just so... weird. My friend's town is Starvile and I slightly cringe whenever I see the name.

I streetpassed someone whose mayor was called Kitty and their town was called Kittyvil. That one did make me cringe a little, I'll admit.

Haha my town's name is Hyrule. I've named every single Animal Crossing town I've ever had Hyrule since the very first game came out when I was 7, so it's kind of nostalgic for me, albeit unoriginal. I haven't encountered any town names that have evoked a response from me other than those named after Pokemon or Legend of Zelda, or any other well-known game/movie/etc. I like them more because I know the mayor of said towns have good taste!

 

[fairyring]

yeah i just don't care for the stupid ones like "my ass" etc, like i guess it's funny the first time you see it but it gets old when you see it a million times. xD i mean your town name is permanent, don't you want to be proud when you tell people what your town is named?

anyway i don't mind the others, just those.

 

[Leopardfire]

I've seen Pallet a lot, but my town name is Celadon so I don't have the right to complain.

This is more of a grammar thing than an actual name, but when I see any town name (or mayor for that matter) that's lowercase, it bugs me so much. Would it have killed you to take an additional second to capitalize your name?

 

[Stitched]

Colton still tells me about the days he looks back on when he used to live in Prgatory @_____@ Generally just the really inappropriate ones since I do believe in keeping it E rated and whatnot

Hyrule I can at least understand since there's a lot of LoZ fans. So happy I went against that decision though.

I named my town Gallia, after a nation in Fire Emblem.

 

[Luxvia]

I've never really been bothered by a town name, it's like don't judge a book by its cover. You could have a town with a really bad name but have the most beautiful design and layout. I have to admit though, I have seen a lot of Hyrules out there but I don't mind as I love Zelda. My town name is based partially on the events of Majora's Mask.

I agree with you, Leopardfire. A name being lowercase whether it is a town or person bugs me way more than the actual name.

 

[Pickles]

Some names make me go "0_o" but then my town's name is Cheese, because it's what I've always named my town, since I was a kid (other than the one time I named it PB&J for whatever reason) and it's sentimental to me. So maybe there's a story behind some of these names that sounds weird to us.

 

[Jamborenium]

Lol nope because I don't care
It's their town and they can name it anything they want,

So if someone wants to name their town cumfart then sure why not They can do that

 

[trenchdragon]

Yep, but I can't remember any right off the bat. My town names arent entirely original though; my main town is named after the lake my cottage is on and my second town used for holding is named after a castle in a town I used to live in Sweden.

 

[BlooShroom]

It's their choice, I know some people might not like my name but I don't mind. As long as people are having fun with it, it's cool. If people want to name their town a food or just a word they should go for it.
It does sorta bug me when their names are really unoriginal, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they didn't know how popular it was/would become.

 

[poliwag0]

My own town. It was going to be a bunny themed town, but then I changed my mind. So now it's called Carrot for no reason... -_-

 

[Titi]

"Laputa" is a swear, right?

It means the whore.

 

[Artemis_Dreamer]

The only town names that make me cringe are incorrectly spelt or capitalized names. Like the time my sister created a town called "Helhiem" - the I and E are in the wrong order.

Some names (Hoenn, Hyrule) may be common, but the creator of the town chose said name for a reason. Typically a sentimental reason. Vulgarity is less acceptable, but it has it's place. One of my frequent streetpasses is with a town called Ghetto, after all.

I mean, I myself am guilty of foreign language names (Kani), food names (Citrus), and badly abbreviated names (Whitrose).

Names are a personal choice, and no one should be told that their name is "cringeworthy".

 

[marzipanmermaid]

I

I'd just like to point out that I live 45 minutes from Sandwich, Illinois. Yes it's a place, and I'm like 90% sure the police say 'Sandwich Police'.

I once saw a cycle town named Peńis, now why would you name your cycle town that D:

I've lived in Illinois my whole life (still do) and didn't know such a place existed...
