What are the most common island names you’ve seen?

[Emmsey]

I swear I see Corona and Paradise islands appearing across turnip exchange all the time. I've seen one other Hobbiton so far - probably a load more.

 

[fluttershy300]

Kyoshi is another one I’ve seen a lot. :’)

 

[Katzenjammer]

I see an awful lot of names that begin with Oak for some reason, but that's just been my experience so far.

 

[Mikaiah]

I see quite a few Arcadias.
It just stands out to me xD. I'm sure there are other repeats as well.

 

[tokkio]

in new leaf, the most common names I've seen are definitely Hyrule and Westeros. there are still some with those island names now but not as much as in NL

 

[Alicia]

I've seen a bunch that were about the moon, space or stars!

 

[SmrtLilCookie]

I’ve also seen multiple Arcadia’s, so much so I keep wondering if there’s a reference I’m missing...

Edit: on the unique side, I think mine is pretty unique (Erinacea), but I’d be very happy to see another and meet the owner!

 

[Flunkifera]

I see so many having to do with something like Topia, Island, Cove, Bay, Isle, Ville and so on, like the most common endings for islands/names to make is sound more *mysterious*/*magical*/whatever^^

 

[Kwisten]

My island is named The Shire, which I, luckily, haven't seen a repeat of yet, but I'm sure there is one.

I have seen a lot of islands names with "Bay" in them or the "[Name of Flower] Island", I do recall going to an island once that was named "Mar-a-lago" and I threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[Lavulin98]

all names thar have Moon and Luna. and their variation.lol

 

[Jhine7]

Surprised everyone on here didn't go straight to Hyrule. Can't go a day without seeing one of them!

 

[~CrystalCarnations~]

Morioh pops up almost everywhere! Haven't ran into one yet, but there's a ton of Alolas too

Also, could be wrong, but I think I read that Arcadia is Greek(?) for something along the lines of "place of peace"

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I’m pretty sure no one else has Arctin as an island name. I see a ton of Alola’s islands (melemele, Akala, etc) on turnip exchange as well.

 

[Insulaire]

I’ve seen a lot of Astoria’s too

Anyone who has an island named Astoria: does that name come from anything?

There’s a very popular video game YT personality who always names his Animal Crossing islands Astoria, some of those just may just be fans

 

[sleepydreepy]

I've seen some of the ones people have already posted about too.

My island name is Maui, which honestly wasn't my first choice- I stupidly didn't consider a character limit when creating my island name so I had to come up with one last minute. I like "Maui" but I was worried many other people would also name their island Maui, but thankfully to this day I have only seen one other Maui!

 

[Insulaire]

Does anyone else kinda zone out on other players’ island names? I could not honestly tell you the name of a single island I’ve visited or hosted players from, and the number has to be like 50+

Arcadia is a word for an idyllic, beautiful paradise-like natural landscape/area, with a bit of a mythical vibe to it. So it fits quite well as an island name for a peaceful, fictional island in a video game imo.

Arcadia Bay is also the name of the area where the game Life is Strange is set. I can see people naming their town after that too, the game has a strong connection to its spaciality and the town almost becomes a character in itself. Because of the character limit people probably omit the bay part.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

Has anyone seen another Saboria? No you haven't because I made it up.

 

[Quinni]

I've seen so many islands named Rosewood. It's a pretty name but very common, at least from what I see

 

[Pineappleftw]

I've seen a bunch of Tartarus and Aurora recently
