looks like we have some confirmation! also love that we don't necessarily have to call it "island" seeing as we can pick a suffix. does this change how any of you are naming your island?

Oh, hey.. is that a new Deer villager? I'm pretty sure that Gorilla is Louie, a Jock villager. Meaning that new Deer is an Uchi?

It could be Deidre as well... but that Deer looks a bit... purple? Deidre is gray-brown.

i think that's deirdre actually! she's an uchi
 
Hrm... do we HAVE to have a suffix? Maybe I just want a one word island... like Guam lol
 
Using the built in Google translator on my camera. I get

What is the name of the island, Ninten Island, Jimin Ninten Island, and finally Ninten Island?

Nintenshima
Nintenjima
Nintendo

What it means, I don't know. Google isn't the best at translating Japanese.

Exciting news for those who have 10 character names in mind!

I'm very interested to know what those suffixes all translate to and if they're optional or not.

I'm thinking one will be "land", one "island", and I'm not sure on the last one. Maybe it's a no suffix choice.

Ooh or maybe one of the choices let's us input our own suffix! Bay, Cove, Harbor, etc.

Isn't the suffix just for the Japanese version though?
Just says it in the pic there.
 
I’m sure American nintendo will retweet this in English

But praise because I have a ten-letter name in mind
 
I wanted a suffix for one of my original ideas but I came up with a new name incase they didn't have suffixes. I'm glad they put them in though, as long as that last option is no suffix. Gives me a lot more options to choose from now!

Also, they finally extend the limit which is what I've always wanted but now I can't think of a longer name... all my name ideas fits in 8 characters or less lol :')
 
The island names I was thinking of don’t really work with a suffix, so hopefully we can skip that part. I do have an option that I could use with a suffix, I guess, but I’ve used that name before (ends in -land), and I was leaning towards something else. All of my town names use the same prefix with various suffixes or extra portions already attached, and I’ve been happy with that approach.

I have some slightly longer names I can try, but I’ll probably stick with eight characters. Most of my name options were generated with the eight character limit in mind.
 
i think the suffix options in english might be: land, island, and isle? just a guess..

i'm fine with or without a suffix though, so i dont really mind it. i can see how some people wouldn't want it though!

One has to be Isle. At least I hope it is.
 
I’m so happy. The name I really wanted is 10 characters and picking the suffix is genius.

Summersalt Isle is the move.
 
So, um, I wanted ExIsle. Will I have to do Ex Isle, instead? Not sure the play on words is as effective that way.
