Rosewood?

[honeymoo]

Has anyone else noticed the huge amount of towns in Animal Crossing named Rosewood??
Is it just me noticing this? I think the name is super cute, I've visited tons of Rosewoods, is there a reason why this name is so popular?

It's the name of a racial massacre. I just looked it up on Google and that was one of the first things that showed up. I still don't see why it's popular though.

No idea, didn't know there were a lot of them. I guess because it's rather simple.

It would be really awful to name your town that and then find that out. A lot of towns are named "something"wood or foods.

i doubt that's what they were going for.......... lmao
it's the name of the town on pretty little liars? doubt that's the influence tho.

pretty sure it's just because 'rose' is a very popular flower and 'wood' /nature towns are cute.
probably just because it sounds cute.

I doubt they were trying reference a massacre. But it'd be a fitting neat name town for something like Animal Crossing.
Strange though, I Googled Rosewood myself and I got results for art galleries, trees, and wood polishing for crafts and furniture.

It did list the massacre and movie as related searches on the bottom.

I never heard of the massacre. I don't have a "Rosewood" but almost did. I have a "Roseberg," because my g-grandmother's name was Rose, but when I found out that she was allergic to trees and had an understandable phobia about them (and her being married to a farmer, no less!) I changed my mind and named my town "Roseberg."
