The Town Name Idea Thread

[Petunia]

I always name my town Avalon from the Arthurian legend. It also means "island of apples" so I make my town full of apple trees, and have one of my player characters named Arthur. He always gets the fanciest furniture, clothes and a king's crown. he'll be my Mayor in New Leaf.

What a neat idea! I love it, especially the tie in with the apples. I still can't decide what to name my town... Bell Bay is the current favorite, but I like Sherwood, and have been trying out names with "Gap" in them a la: Fern Gap, Old Gap, New Gap, TurksGap, etc... Also Wood names like Red Wood, Oak Wood, DarkWood...

But I like the idea of the fruit name.

Maybe I should consider some fruity names:
-Manzana (apple)
- LasPeras (the pears)
- LosCocos (the coconuts)
- Cereza (cherry)
- Naranja (orange)

Hmmm... Out of those I think I like Las Peras and Los Cocos best. No idea what name I will end up with... I'm so bad at naming things! My cat got her name by default after we couldn't decide on a name and just went with what we called her most often (Gallina- which is chicken in Spanish, we call her Llina for short- and the name fits great!) I really wish we could be mayor for a while before we had to choose a name for our villages.

This just gave me a great idea. I may be naming my town Avalon. But not for your reasons. I have no idea what you're referring to xD

Avalon is a place in Catalina Island Marine Institute, just off the coast of southern california. 6th graders in my district go there for a school outing every year. And at Catalina Island (Acronym CIMI, pronounced "see-me"), we stay in cabins at the place for a week and go snorkeling every day and go on hikes and stuff with our grade, it's really fun.

And I can pretend that all our animal's houses are the different cabins that everyone stays at!

Not sure if I want to name my town Avalon, Catalina, or CIMI. =/ Probably CIMI or Catalina now that I think of it, because Avalon is just like a bunch of streets with shops and stuff, and we only go there for a few hours on the last day of our CIMI trip. But it is also on the coast, outlooking the ocean.. hm..

Actually, I don't want to use Avalon because I don't want to completely steal your idea.. And now I can pretend that the many shopping centers in the game is going to be the "Avalon" of my city. Oh my god.

You just gave me the best idea ever. Thank you so much xD And I think I'll be naming my island CIMI. Because Catalina Island doesn't fit, and Catalina sounds like some mainstream paradise name. No one will understand my town name unless I explain it to them, but it's still awesome. Thank you so much. Holy shatatatat.

Edit: LOL sorry about this long babble. This was just a post in which I kept writing my thoughts down. I now know what my town name was going to be.

Thank god too. Because I didn't want to name my town something boring again, like my real life town name, or "Paradise".. Cringe..

I might name my New Leaf town "Alleos", the prototype name for the Unova region in Pokemon. I might also choose something that ends with "-cliff", "-ridge", or "-ledge" like I have in previous games.

 

[Petunia]

Oh that's really neat, cRz. Glad I could help. xD I've been looking here for ideas too.

Oh right, I should have explained better: I got the idea from the story of King Arthur... I'll steal this from wikipedia: "a legendary island... where King Arthur's sword Excalibur was forged and later where Arthur was taken to recover from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann." It also explains the word comes from welsh "afal" meaning apple. So yeah, my mayor in New Leaf will be mayor Arthur of Avalon. Complete with a castle-y house, crown, throne and stuff. xP

Here in Canada there's Avalon Peninsula, too. I think it's kind of a neat name, and like Valerie says, ties in with the fruits (I love the fruit names you came up with).

This is just one of the many reasons I hope future AC games will allow for more than one game file since there's so many ideas for town names and other things. It's hard to choose.

I'm still decided on my town name but I decided I'm going to use a Doctor Who name. Gallifrey is too long so I am unsure of what yet. But I will have a TARDIS town flag, at least one of the black cube projects, I'm going to use any dark blue house exterior items I can (so far I've only seen a door), inside will have at least one dark blue/space/doctor themed room, a blue roof on the train station, I'm going to do a few pro designs of the 10th doctors suits, and I'm hoping there is a fez and some bow-ties so I can dress up as the 11th as well. The hair options aren't perfect but I can get really close to how they are. And since animals can be aliens my town will be full of aliens who run around yelling allons-y, exterminate, delete, etc and calling me sweetie. <3

Best. Town. Ever. But I probably sound like some deranged, obsessed fan xD

 

[dexterminate88]

I'm sorry I didn't know my post double-posted. I don't know why either. If this post could be deleted I would appreciate it.

 

[Pelshko]

I may call my town Ambrosia. I just like how it sounds.

 

[noobneko]

If we get the 8 character limit I want to call mine Folsense from Professor Layton: Diabolical Box. If we get 10 I'm going with Monte d'Or from PL: Miracle Mask.

As a new fan of the show, I approve and would love to see your town xD

I am getting two copies of the game (physical and digital) one will be named Starlite and the other will be Belltown..I know that one isn't very original but I like it.

Wait why are you getting 2? Is this one not like the wii one where you couldhave multiple characters and towns?

 

[Stevey Queen]

You can have multiple characters. My main reason for getting 2 was I was bummed that we couldn't get both copper and booker. And then I started thinking and i thought it would be fun to have 2 towns.

Oh right I just turned on my City Folk for a second and I realized that you can only have 1 town. Lol I guess I forgot sorry.

-Skyfall
-Treetop
-HighRise
-Fairview
-Celestia
-Rosewood
-Redleaf
-Sunfall
-Acorn
-RedLake
-Lilypad
-Skyhaven
-Kaigan (Coast).

I'd like a name with Coast or Haven in it but that would only allow for 3 more letters. (If the 8 letter limit still stands)
Any other suggestions for me or are nay of these good?

 

[thenewtoday]

I like Rosewood or Skyfall, mainly because of Bond

 

[Mothership]

Since it seems to be taking forever to get this game in the USA, I'm tempted to name my town "FINALLY!", when we do get it here

Actually, tho, I nearly always name my town Mugwump after the first GC town I created entirely on my own (earlier ones were shared w my son). Or, I might call it "Dogtown after our very first AC town.

You do realize that there is an eight-character limit, right? None of these would work, except "The Dump".
