If you're looking for a Japanese name with "leaf" may I suggest Koyo? It means Autumn leaves, and I find it very pretty.I always name my town Seasons. I just love it! Dreamland or something would work with my character, but I love Seasons too much to change it. My sister wants to use a Japanese word, I think. Something...related to leaves.
I try to avoid fandom names or real places. However, if I wasn't stuck on Seasons... err... Gallifrey would've been an option. I'd consider German names, too.
Seasons forever, though.

Nutella came here in the '80s. Its just become extremely popular over the last few years.
I grew up with it, but it was expensive and hard to find when I was young. It's weird seeing how widely available its become these days.
Pixie would be nice, though!

Yeah, I'll use Kakariko. I always loved that place
Maybe for your flag, you could do the Sheika symbol? That would be pretty cool.
I have been thinking hard about a name for my New Leaf town, but nothing I've come up with appeals to me to the extent that my town names for AC:WW (Dafdilly) and AC:CF (Seahaven) did. I thought those names had decent uniqueness (in fact, I think I'm the only one to use "Dafdilly" for an Animal Crossing town), but they weren't too weird, and they were also fitting for my towns. My AC:WW town has a flowery theme, so Dafdilly was appropriate because its name derives from "daffodil." For my AC:CF town, the lighthouse and bay were fitting for the name Seahaven.
For AC:NL I also want a town name that will be fitting. The new outdoor projects, landscaping options, and house exterior decorations that you want to use are important things to keep in mind when coming up with a fitting town name. I think I'd like to use the Marchen/fairytale town hall, gate, bridge, bench, clock, and maybe house decorations. I think those things in combination with other landscaping features like paths, flowers, hedges, fountains, lamps, etc., will produce a lovely, whimsical city-like theme, so the name should be appropriate for that. Some of my ideas for town names that fit this theme:
Citalune - The idea of this is putting together two words that mean "city" and "moon." I'm not in love with this name, but it's all right. This town name fits the previous games' character limit; though, I'm really hoping the character limit will be increased for the English version of AC:NL, what do you all think the chances are of that?
If the limit is increased, instead of Citalune, I could use Citt?lune or Citt?gazze (Italian) and many other options are open.
Ys - After the mythical city that was drowned by the ocean. It makes sense to me for my fairytale/whimsical/fancy city theme, and it's appeared in books and music that I like, but I wonder if other people I WiFi with will be confused by it. "Huh, Ys? What is that? How do you pronounce that?" So I'm not sure about this one.
Any input/opinions on those are appreciated.

I would personally go with Ys, but perhaps change the spelling of it so it's more pronounceable. You could just add a vowel in the middle so that you could avoid confusion.

I've always been going for Dilvil, but seriously considering changing it.

I always name my towns Willow. I feel like it would be weird not naming them the usual, so that shall be it in New Leaf.

I really like the idea of naming your town after wood or a tree. I'm gonna go look up trees.

That's what I'm going to do with my town, though it's for a few reasons. I want to name my town Sakura (after the Japanese name for cherry blossom trees). Also doing that because it's the part of the name of a fictional rock band I write stories about (full name of the band is Team Sakura). I'll be modeling my mayor character after the guitarist of that band.

My ww town was Didytown but I want something new for new leaf. I like the idea of a Japanese name/word.
I'm not sure what name to pick... In WW I named my town Ordon, played the legend of zelda: twilight princess back then, and my town on the wii was called Heaven, clich? I know. I'm thinking Meadow or Meadows for my NL village? Might go for something like Seaside or (...)town in the end.
Bottom line: I don't have a clue yet.
