Since I was indecisive as well after reading your message, I did what I apparently do best and
mixed them up - Morsterra
- Monterra

Just realized I missed your message, but if you still need help here's my opinion:(first time posting here, sorry if it's not allowed as I'm kinda confused)
So I'm thinking that if I remake my island, I want it to be heavily inspired/featuring my favorite kinds of music. Like custom designs of albums everywhere. Making flags would be difficult because I'm not very artistic but I wanna know what you guys think!
Incase you don't know:
Pearljamz is for the band, Pearl Jam
"Songbird" is a song written by my favvvvorite singer ever, My dude Myles Kennedy (it's really pretty)
Fortress is after the Alter Bridge album and song "Fortress" (also written by Myles haha I'm an addict)
Anomaly isn't a band reference but it means "something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected."
Maybe I just have a thing with names that are more on the original side, but I like the first two (Pearljamz & Songbird) because I think you'd see them less often than Fortress (a noun that already refers to a place people live in) or Anomaly.
I don't know if my usual technique of "mix 'em up" would work here though :'D
So going off my own "trying to be unique" feeling, Pearljamz seems better, but you've written more about Myles Kennedy than them, so maybe you'd like Songbird better?
and also Pearljamz keeps reminding me of Pearl from Splatoon 2 srdtfgyhjklm
Also I tried mixing up the last two words anyway and got "Formaly" which I thought was funny so I'm mentioning it zdhbjkf
Aaand hope this mess of a post helped you? Maybe?
Hi. I'm getting Animal Crossing New Horizons next week for my birthday. I need a name for my Island. This is going to be my FIRST Animal Crossing game so it needs to be special. I was thinking along the lines of basing the name off other games I like for example Pokemon Locations or something based of Crash Bandicoot, or something based off Sonic the Hedgehog...I don't really know. Open to ANY ideas.
Hey there! Before NH was out I also wanted to have a special name, cause I was way younger when I had NL and my town name sucked (it was "World" lmao). So what I did is I took a blank doc (it also works on paper) and I brainstormed names until I had a few that I really liked — then I let it rest for some time until I had decided on a final one.
So I'm suggesting you could do the same: maybe write down all the Pokémon/Crash Bandicoot/Sonic locations or names that you like, or those that sound good; and then you can try stitching a few of them together, see what they sound like! (This way it's even more original.)
I don't know what you like most in those games, that's why I'm just giving you my method!
If you want examples I can give you mine — since one of the reasons I was disappointed with "World" was that I found out I wasn't the only one with that name (wow you would've thought lmao), I tried to get very original for NH. In the end I had to choose from:
- Pharloam (Pharloom from Silksong + loam)
- Tintiane (a town from a French series of books that I love — the name sounded good)
- Lacewings (a type of moth — I ended up using that one somewhere else :'D)
- Frubberg (Frubberl, the German name of Bounsweet, but I changed a letter & "Berg" is mountain/hill in German)
Hope my ramblings helped a bit!!
It did help. However, a name came to me when I woke up this morning, and it has nothing to do with the games mentioned above so Lol I guess.
I'm naming my island "Woodchip Isle" or just "Woodchip" if it's too many characters lol. Thank you for your help.

Glad I could help! And you get a maximum of 10 characters, so you'll have to go with Woodchip :'D
council of naming i require ur assistance in the decision that could change the course of my life. the hour of resetting is nigh and before the occurrence i would like to know which name for a secluded, deserted island is better.
my first choice: Anywhere; it is quite a lovely name i think and it's also the name of my current island. i like how i dont feel tied down to a singular theme with this name, because anywhere can be anything, you know? i could have a really basic island or the pastel pink paradise. versatility is truly a wonderful thing, but the fact that it's so versatile kills my vibe when making a town flag and picking a town theme. but i think this name sounds better then my second choice.
my second choice: Somewhere; this name is also as ambiguous as Anywhere but with a different prefix thing! i like this name because of that one wizard of oz song i think, u know "somewhere over the rainbow blah blah" and i was thinking that lil bit could be my town song and then i could have a cute lil rainbow town flag but i have a vague memory of this song being controversial??? or something??? i am not sure i just know when i thought of this idea i was like "oh snap, i am a genius" and then "oh wait, something is wrong here but i dont know what" and i googled it but i dont think i used to right words so i am lost.
either is a fine choice but the fact they're both fine choices makes it really hard to pick so i would love to hear people's individual thoughts and opinions of these two names.

Both of these sound very cool!! :0 I really don't know about the song being controversial though,, idk? :'3
But since I couldn't quite choose either I
Behold:
- Elsewhere
- Wherever
i considered Elsewhere but it sounded too similar to Elsweyr which is a place or something in TES:O and i didnt rly want to reference however indirectly that place. not that its bad or anything but idk. i just Did Not Like It.
Wherever i didnt even think was an actual word but it is
im deceased. thank u but also i hate u bc now i have 3 options to pick from. perhaps a lil help from Google Random Number Generator is in order, but to invoke RNGsus right now may be considered sacrilege.FGHJKLHJKuhijk im so sorry vghjklWherever i didnt even think was an actual word but it is
maybe huuuh try to see which one would sound better in villager dialogue? or try to think about which aspect of your island you wanna insist on? time to vibe check three singular words i guess,
like, anywhere feels like it's just one island in the sea of all the others, or maybe it's always moving, with multiple ways you can get in, kinda like it's in another dimension and you just have to know what you're doing to end up there
somewhere feels like you're more focused on the fact that it exists. maybe you forgot the name of that one island, maybe it's not situated on any maps and it's just a mystery where exactly it is, but dang does it sure exist
wherever… it feels like a promise, like when you leave someone knowing you're gonna meet them again someday, or maybe they're just always with you in some kind of way. this one doesn't care where it is, it'll just always be here when you need it
really went full vibing here wow. does it help?
hey could i pay u some bells to write my essays?? maybe nmt??? i must ponder of these delicious morsels of thinking youve brought to my plate. i have until the 10th to decide which one of these names will live on forever (or until i decide to go full clown again and reset).
BSVKWJJWKFBND GLAD I HELPED IN THE END that was fun to write!!

I’m finally making another account to store stuff. I’m at the name screen and can’t think of a name for my second character. Any one mind telling me how they named their characters or where they got their ideas from (like did they make it up or get it from a name website or an anime)?
Well, I don't know if you're still here, but before making my second character I thought of an entire backstory for her (because yes I am like this), and I found her a name that fit with that backstory. So I guess if you have no idea behind why your second character exists you could try to find a name like this? Or maybe you could like, take one of your middle names to name them if they're just here to be your second player (I literally just thought of this)
Basically for mine (in case this helps in some way), in the story she didn't have a name when she was found by my primary character, but it happened in June; and so when they were looking for a name they just went "Oh hey, June in German is Juni, that sounds cool, do you like that name" and everyone went with it.

Thanks so much for the reply; I really appreciate that you took the time to try to help me
. That is a really interesting idea. I was considering making an island journal some day and writing a little story maybe. I’ll consider this if I make another one (chances are relatively high; just need to find room on my island and figure out how to make it work).I ended up naming my character Hiyori after a character in One Piece; I wanted to use the fancy kimonos and use some of the Japanese items even though my theme is mostly medieval, so I thought it’s work perfectly with her.
I do wish I could be more original and not name my characters after someone in a game or anime and come up with a name myself lol.

Maybe an island called K-Pop could also help. Chrissy could be the centerpiece and Cube and Tiffany/Francine could also be part.
Ok I need help naming my island. I am finally getting nh and I really need a name! I want something farm-sounding but doesnt have the word ‘farm‘ in it! Something to do with plants would be super nice, along with nature. Something like Pansy Isle (too simple ik). thanks!

How about "Barnland" or "(Native Flower) Isle?"
If you're trying to change from "Sauce", perhaps you could look into the types of sauce? There's probably a lot of potential in there! Or maybe seasonings? Or something like Soup? xD
So, I tried finding names you could use depending on your native fruit:
- Apple Acres
- Orange Ranch
- Cherry Hill
- Pear Pasture
You can always try mixing them up, use other words like Field(s), Seed(s)… other fruits or even veggies like PumpkinPatch! You just gotta remember about the 12-character limit. Ooh, and the last one made me think of "Patchkins"… doesn't mean anything, but it sounds cute! I also just found "Wheat Winds", I think it sounds cute too :0
Basically there's so many possibilities you can even try brainstorming yourself! (you too, @saucySheep) Which is, writing down everything that comes into your mind, even if it sounds stupid, until eventually you find stuff you like.
