What are your islanders called? Did you think about this when you named your island?

This thread has been inspired by what Paula casually said to me when she moved in. I was caught completely off-guard.

Somnus is hard to think around...Somnusian would be weird. I'd say "Somni". Wikitionary said so (lol)

my island’s name is Lumaway... so maybe Lumians? Lumawayers? Lumawayans?

 

[sunchild]

hmm probably Coventrians? all the other alternatives just don't sound right lol. I mean you could also go for Coveners for short, but that gives off a more witchy vibe, which my island is not.

Mine would definitely be "Lunamirian" seeing as "Lunamiria" easy enough haha.

My island is called Shanghai, so maybe Shanghaians?

My island is called Cherry Bay, so I guess I would call a single villager "cherry" or "Cherry Bayer" and all villager together "the cherries" (I'm not really creative...).

My island is Ember so maybe embrians or embers

 

[VelveteenCat]

Lunarians from Lunaria! I almost didn't name my island Lunaria because Lunarian is used in a lot of other contexts (most fictional), but usually for the same thing (moon inhabitants), so I didn't let that stop me in the end. I'm pretty serious about RPing my island's context with letters, design etc. (although I've been lax lately), so it was important to consider this aspect.

I love seeing everyone else's demonyms!
