How did you name your town?

[Aquari]

i named mine polybius after a mysterious arcade game said to cause negative psycological side effects to whoever plays it

 

[Mura]

Main towns: Windfall (From The LoZ wind waker), Espresso (because i love coffee. named the mayor Mocha. also plan to name other residents coffee-like names)
Cycle town: Kyoto (city in Japan), Arowana (because arowana mall is my favorite stage in splatoon)

 

[s i r e n t i c]

i named one of my towns Pandora because i really love Borderlands, and that's the name of the planet that the game series takes place on. it also really helped that i'm really into greek mythology and that i was reading a lot about the Pandora's box myth at the time lol.

my other town is named Everwood just because i wanted a forest like themed town, and when using a name generator it was one of the names that i liked the most.

 

[Invisible again]

I named my main town Sapphire, and I named my sister town Ruby. I've always liked gemstones, so I figured I'd name my towns after my two favorite ones.

 

[mags]

I chose a flower theme so called town Meadow and all my 4 characters flower names, Rose, Lily, Poppy, and Daisy.

 

[calico103]

My town's name, "Bluebark", is a spoof of the name of my real-life hometown, named after a type of sequoia, "redwood" trees. I have a fondness for my town of birth, so a similar-themed name is kind of nostalgic... even though I still live here, heh.

 

[dizzy bone]

I just made a new town called Tinytree. The name is not super original but it's basically going to be loosely based on a tiny house community: all my players will have small homes (around the size of the residents or one upgrade bigger) or tents, predominately forest, possibly some way to incorporate a solar panel or wind turbine pwp for renewable energy etcetc (but honestly they are so ugly )

My first town is called Kenka. It means to quarrel or fight in japanese but I actually named it after a bar in the area I used to live in new york... started the game the night I came back from there so it seemed fitting.

 

[NuttyS]

Ours are all pretty self explanatory if you know the books/shows/movies etc.
Hobbiton - The Hobbit and LOTR.
Eternia - Masters Of The Universe.
Arborlon - The Shannara Chronicles.
Narnia - The Chronicles Of Narnia
Gondor - LOTR

 

[HopeForHyrule]

Well, I currently have four towns, so...

Gilead: the town where Roland Deschain lived before the events of The Dark Tower series. I'm currently obsessed with these books, so this is the name of my newest town.

Gemedet: from Myst: The Book of Ti'ana. It's the Age that Atrius and Ti'ana wrote together.

Oeilvert: a town in Final Fantasy IX. I'm pretending my hamster villagers are moogles, lol.

And the crowning jewel of my towns is Bunifrey. My hubby actually named this one for me. I made the town in memory of our Bun Bun that crossed the rainbow bridge. I'm also a big Whovian, so he came up with the idea of combining Bun Bun and Gallifrey. So yeah. Bunifrey.

 

[Blue Cup]

I named at after the titular town in my story, Memoria.
I am a big nostalgia-brat so my memories; new and old, are very important to me, Animal Crossing-related ones especially so I thought why not?

 

[Drew1234]

My first town I wanted to have a town with two words, so it was Free Bay, free because I could do whatever I wanted, and bay because it was a town by the beach.
My second I followed the trend, Joy Lake, a place that would bring you joy and a time to relax.
Then again, I named a town Ash Lake. Cause I liked the Lake part, and Ash is a nice tree.
And my newest town is Newhaven, and that didn't follow the trend. The new part cause it was a new town, haven because it's a safe place.

 

[Barnabus_i_am]

My New Leaf town is named Startown. I did a theme with my sister, who named her town Moontown. I think doing matching town names is fun! Also, I named my Wild World town Overton and I named another town D?rfli; those are both names of fictional towns.

 

[ashlif]

I just used the part of the word from "aladdin" (the word is from the water bottle I always use to drink from) which was "alad" I took and then I said some random words and came up with "Aladus." Idk but the town name reminds me like Aladin as in the Disney movie. XD I wasn't really creative about my town name tho it sounds alright I guess. I also get this "sandy" vibe from my town name when in my town the theme is suppose to be nature.

 

[Lilac]

Haha, I didn't really put much thought to my town's name aside from wanting it to sound welcoming and cheerful.
Town name is Sunville (a pretty common one, lol)

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

Wow, can't believe how much thought so many people have put into their town names. Hyrule was literally the first one I thought of and just went with it. Although in fairness if I could change it now I would. The only thing stopping me resetting is the amount of stuff I have. Would quite like a mystical name

 

[ZetaFunction]

I was playing a lot of Pokemon before I got my cartridge of AC:NL, specifically Pokemon Black/White. When I made my town, I always wanted to try making a Pokemon themed town since I never got a chance to on Wild World, so I chose the name Lacunosa (from the town in-game). But thanks to me making my town late at night when I was tired, it ended up being Lucanosa. Hence my username. Definitely one of the happiest mistakes I've ever made.

 

[kinsnuf]

i chose ataraxia, which is a greek term for peace, calm and tranquility. im into pretentious words.

 

[rocklazy]

I dunno if I already posted but here goes
I named Regalia after uh the word regal (wow)
It apparently is a word also I think lol

My newest town is Detroit and well its based off.. Detroit (wow go me)
Its a thuggish town and apparently that kinda has a bit of thug activity?

 

[Ehingen Guy]

Ehingen is the name of my irl hometown in southwestern Germany.

 

[charyse]

i named mine after a constellation because i love astronomy it's named Draconis
