[Alyx]

Ahhh, now this is a tough one!

My favorite...

Alligator: Gayle
Anteater: Antonio or Zoe
Bear: Ursala
Bird: Piper
Bull: Stu
Cat: Felicity
Chicken: Plucky
Cow: Norma
Cub: June
Deer: Deirdre
Dog: Maddie
Duck: Weber (since Animal Crossing GC!)
Eagle: Quinn
Elephant: Chai
Frog: Lily
Goat: Kidd or Chevre
Gorilla: Hans
Hamster: Marlo (gabeesh?)
Hippo: Bitty
Horse: Papi
Kangaroo: Carrie
Koala: Melba
Lion: Leopold
Monkey: Shari

Ostrich: Blanche
Penguin: Sprinkle
Pig: Maggie
Rabbit: Carmen
Rhino: Azalea
Sheep: Stella or Timbra
Squirrel: Ione or Marshal

I was so happy when they added some of the older villagers from past games, such as Weber (who has been my favorite since the Animal Crossing GameCube), June (who I've always wanted but couldn't get because I didn't have a GBA), and Azalea (who is super cute!).
I really love some of the new additions, such as Marlo. As I was decorating Marlo's vacation home, I kept saying to myself, "on this, the day of my daughter's wedding", and "gabeesh" (his catchphrase). It's so fun to pronounce his name like they would in the mafia movies ('Here's my li'l fren Mahlo").

Okay, now that I have that out of way (LOL), I can focus on the question at hand. (ahem - lol)

Alligator: Gayle & Roswell

[smug villager]

Alligator: Roswell, with Gayle as an honorable mention. I've never had an alligator before but she looks cute.
Anteater: Zoe is my favorite, hands-down. Annalisa is a runner-up.
Bear: BEARDO! I adore Beardo and wish he was more popular.
Bird: Jacques. Cute little hipster bird. Gave him a vinyl record store on my island. I also like Piper. She was so sweet to me in GC.
Bull: Rodeo. I had him briefly andhe was great.
Cat: Monique. She recently moved off my island after sticking with me for the longest time, and my heart actually broke. Raymond, Kabuki, Bob, Purrl, Olivia, Stinky, Kid Cat, Lolly, Merry...so many more. I actually love all the cats.
Chicken: Goose and Ken. I also liked Betty back in the day.
Cow: Tipper and Norma are both pretty cool.
Cub: Olive or Stitches. If Aisle was still around, I'd pick them though.
Deer: Erik or Zell. Chelsea was also really cute, but I've never had her because I don't collect Sanrio amiibos.
Dog: Mac and Shep are neck-and-neck for me, but Lucky is also great.
Duck: Gloria.
Eagle: Maybe Avery or Sterling?
Elephant: Chai, Tia, Big Top, and Elly are all cute, but the cutest is probably Tucker. Also the green snooty one. I can't remember her name.
Frog: Gigi and Diva. Lily is cute too. Also, anyone remember Sunny? I liked her.
Goat: Pashmina, with Sherb as a close second. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I also love Velma a lot.
Gorilla: Rilla. If I see anyone being mean to Rilla I'll go insane.
Hamster: Y'all are sleeping on CLAY!
Hippo: HIppeaux's design cracks me up. Also like Bitty.
Horse: Savannah, maybe? idk
Kangaroo: Maybe Mathilda or one of the male ones? I don't care for the kangaroos much, but I was attached to some of the old ones too.
Koala: Alice is my favorite, but her saying "guvnor" annoyed me so much I kicked her off my island. Melba is sweet too.
Lion: I actually like all the lions. Aziz was my old favorite, but on New Horizons, it'd have to be Lionel with his big silly mustache or Mott, my current jock.
Monkey: Elise. She strikes a "so ugly she's cute" chord with me. But Tiansheng also looks cute.
Mouse: Bella, where have you been, loca?
Octopus: Zucker! He's been my favorite Lazy ever since he moved in.
Ostrich: Cranston. Had him in my New Leaf village and wonder how he's doing these days.
Penguin: Boomer, but I feel like he should be a cranky like Hopper. Iggy's permanent eye-roll scores points though.
Pig: Agnes probably. I've never had her though.
Rabbit: I like a lot of the rabbits, but I'd have to say Coco, maybe Pippy or Carmen. Although Tiffany and Sasha are growing on me.
Rhino: Tank. He was in my first ever save file on GC Animal Crossing. A real stand-up guy.
Sheep: Muffy by far! Goth lolita sheep? Golden.
Squirrel: Marshal, but Hazel is also good. And Ione GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!
Tiger: I like them all. Tybalt was my first ever Tiger villager in GC, but Rolf and Bangle are also wonderful. Claudia looks cute too.
Wolf: Dobie is my favorite villager of all-time! Points to Wolfgang and Kyle though.

 

[meela]

what a great question, this could take me awhile to figure out..

• alligator: Drago, i think his design is super unique and really interesting!
• anteater: Olaf. i dont like anteaters and i tend to never have them on my island though..
• bear: Tutu has a very simple and clean design, but similar to anteaters i dont like bears.
• bird: Piper but birds are my all time least favourite animal.
• bull: Angus. S+ tier name.
• cat: Lolly. shes just a classic and i remember as a child having her on the gamecube version of animal crossing.
• chicken: Egbert. another S+ tier name.
• cow: Tipper!! yet another S+ tier name, alongside a great visual. tipper is usually always on my island.
• cub: this one is really hard, but i have to say Maple. Judy is a very strong second.
• deer: Erik has a very unique visual to me with his horns, and I want to have him on my island one day!
• dog: Goldie. Just a very classic design and I love golden retrievers!
• duck: Molly. very very very cute.
• eagle: apollo. another classic design but i dont like eagles.
• elephant: very hard battle between Ellie and Tia.I tend to prefer more "natural" villagers so Ellie probably wins here, but Tia is a very beautiful design.
• frog: Lily! I usually avoid frogs, but if Lily came to my island I don't think I would be very upset!
• goat: Chevre. Im a sucker for freckles...
• gorilla: another animal type i never willingly have on my island, but i have to say Boone.
• hamster: MARLO!! as soon as i saw his design i fell in love!
• hippo: Biff, but i really dislike Hippos.
• horse: Elmer. Another solid S+ tier name.
• kangaroo: WORST animals. I guess Marcie.
• koala: Melba!! One day she will come to my island
• lion: another animal type i dont usually go for on my island, i would say Rex is very cute.
• monkey: i hated all monkeys until i saw Tiansheng. Legendary monkey villager with the perfect visual and personality type.
• mouse: hated all mice until Petri came out. as someone with a science degree she instantly became S+ tier.
• octopus: special shoutout to Zucker. he seemed to always have a place on my island as my resident lazy bones until I somewhere along the way decided he didnt fit in anymore. Perfect for food themed islands tho..
• ostrich: genuinely forgot this was even a type of animal tbh. blanche!
• penguin: sprinkle S+ tier.
• pig: Lucy but i dont like pig villagers.
• rabbit: in new leaf i had a full rabbit villager theme. dotty is the best one
• rhino: merengue, another food themed villager. one day I will have a food themed island...
• sheep: eunice is so pretty but her name is not good IMO.
• squirrel: blaire is sooo cute.
• tiger: rolf. what a great design!
• wolf: this one is really hard between Fang and Vivian, but I would say Vivian.

going through the list of the villagers made me remember some that I had forgotten previously!
