After 6 hours of trying to get my imagination to do it's job, I'm ready to give up.

I'm being gifted a second Switch soon and I plan to start a second island on it. It's going to be filled with dog villagers and have lots of parks and such while still having lots of natural stuff, woods and waterfalls and ponds etc. that are reminiscent of taking a dog for a walk or a swim.

I like made-up fantasy sounding names like my ACNL town Noveon (base word "nova") and my ACNH island Luferna (base words "luna" and "fern")

The words I've tried working with so far for this doggy island are canis, conifer, bark (I love the pun) and various names for bodies of water...

Guys I've got NOTHING. I can't make anything pretty-sounding out of these and it's killing me!! I could use some ideas for other words or name ideas 🫠
 
ah yes, the real difficulty of animal crossing; finding the perfect island name.
funnily enough was doing that 2 days ago for like 2 hours so my name brainstorming should still be intact a little;

dogwalk

the pound

kennel (a structure or shelter for dogs)

daycare

bark & wag (or any combination of dog traits)

kibble

pedigree (personally like this one, meant to reference the popular dog food but just learned, if google isn't lying to me, means; the record of descent of an animal, showing it to be purebred.)

good boy (this one is more of a joke but i really want a dog island with this name lol)

bark park(s) (or any island name that could end with parks)

and for fantasy-sounding island names... not my speciality unfortunately lol but lemme see...

cirrane

(b)arkney (sorry, couldn't help myself)

donova

dogardens

pawonder

...you can honestly come up with lots of stuff combining words haha, it's pretty fun but as said, not my specialty.

hope this gives you at least one or two ideas though. 😚 (y)

Barkney is incredible and has jumped to the top of my list. And thank you for the word ideas!!
 
Just came across your post, and I wanted to add my idea into the mix, a combination of the words you said you've tried. Canifer (combination of Conifer and Canis) Bark (Bark could be how dogs mispronounce Park, since it's a doggy park essentially).
