I'm going anti-sweet with my character names, because my town is sweets themed (nothing over the top - yet) and I don't want it to be icky-sweet, so I've named my two other characters Salt and Bitter.
My mayor is called Adalia after one of my favourite songs, I didn't want to name her after me.
My second person is called Madison just because I think it's a really pretty name ^_^
So far I only have my Mayor, which is Majora. I wish that was my name xD
If I created another character, it would probably be named Anju, Romani, or something along those lines.
My mayor is named after myself, Chris.
2nd characters named Marcy, after Marceline from AdventureTime.
3rd is named Logan, just cause I really like that name.
My mayor character isn't named after me... I'm not crazy about my real name, so it's fun to be someone else with a different name in my little fantasy world.
Mayor: Estel
Other characters: Lyra, Violet, Fern
Just girl names I like (I don't really like the idea of playing as a boy character). I imagine different personalities/tastes for each of them and plan to decorate their houses -- both the interior and the exterior -- accordingly.
I named myself Lauren (after me)
My 2nd character Lolly (after my nickname)
My 3rd character Daisy (after my brilliant cat)
And my 4th character Fiona (after fiona from Adventure Time)
My second character is called Luca. Luca was the name of a character in a novel that took me three years to take from the earliest stage of planning all the way through to the final draft / submission. Before then I'd only submitted shorter pieces of work for professional criticism (e.g. poetry, short stories, articles) so having worked with him for so long, then to show it to people I admire and receive fantastic feedback on the characterisation, makes him a very special character to me. If anyone was going to join me in my little town it would have to be him.
My mayor's name is the name I use everywhere online - Cyote. Unusual spelling and I like that Cyote's a trickster god. My 2nd character is named Tom Derp. I was just screwing around with him and now he's a mule with ambitions. My third character is named Marian after Maid Marian in Robin Hood.
On my 2nd town I used Bruce and named the town Gothom. I'm going to try and create a "superhero"/modern town.
