Which town name do you like better?

[LunaLight]

As some of you may know, my 3DS corrupted which resulted in me loosing one of my towns. As I'm still mourning over that town (the name makes me cringe, so I'm not even gonna say it lol it was basic), I'm still deciding what I can rename my town to. The town was of a zen/nature theme, as will be the not-so-new "new" town. I ultimately came down to two names that I like; Kokoro and Komorebi, which are both Japanese so I think either of them will capture the town theme better than my last one. The words mean:

Kokoro: "heart"; "the heart of things"; "emotions"
Komorebi: "sunlight shining through the leaves of trees"

I think Komorebi captures the town theme better with its meaning, though I think I love the sound of Kokoro more. Also I've seen more people with Kokoro than with Komorebi (I don't think I've seen any actually). What do you think I should choose? I'm also open for more suggestions, these are just the two that I found and ultimately liked the most.

They both have very beautiful meanings. Personally, I've seen tons and tons of Kokoros, so I think Komorebi is more unique.
And you said it fits your town's theme better, so that's definitely another reason to go for it ^^

Komorebi. Yes is harder to pronounce but the meaning is better.

Well I like kokoro, its a good name. But another name I have that might be good is eien which means eternity in Japanese (at least I hope it does). I feel like it'd be a nice name for your town since hopefully it'll last for good this time and not get corrupted

The translation of Komorebi makes more sense with the theme you're going for. But since you said you like the sound of Kokoro more I'd definitely go with that. At some point later in game you maybe regret choosing Komorebi over Kokoro. It really shouldn't matter how many people already have the same town name, most importantly is that you like it! In my opinion Kokoro sounds way better and easier to pronounce.

They're both beautiful and really imaginative names, I really wish I'd took more notice of my town name when I first started. Hyrule is so unoriginal and loads of people have the same name I think from the meanings I prefer Komorebi. I wouldn't really know how to pronounce it but I don't suppose that's much of an issue with this game

 

[Kurashiki]

they're both really nice names. personally I would go with komorebi, since I think the meaning is better suited

 

[AquaStrudel]

KOMOREBI! I've encountered this word before and it really is a lovely word. <3 I think it would work perfectly for a town.

komorebi

I like both! Kokoro is more popular so it depends if you care if your town name is popular or not.

Technically, trees and light match more with a zen theme to me. So I'd skip over Kokoro. But it's your town of course! Do what your heart is telling you. C: (no pun intended)

Thank you everyone for the replies so far! I think I'll go with Komorebi (at least so far).
Also, I believe it's pronounced "kO-mO-'re-bE" for those who are confused on how it sounds ^^;
