[Sloom]

hi everyone I just wanted to let you know that my brother got animal crossing today and the island name he picked was Broth Isle

have a good day

 

[June]

Orlais, Skyhold, Val Royeaux, Weisshaupt, Kirkwall ... - just a few from the RPG Dragon Age which sits amongst my top3 RPGs of all time

i went through all of these before settling on something completely different, haha! except val royeaux, i believe, doesn't fit the character limit sadly. i originally tried to input that as my island name and it was short one or two letters iirc ^^

 

[ohno dannie]

restarted and i wanna have an island name that sounds kinda magical..suggestions please

 

[Darkesque_]

Wildecliff, Byhill, Wayfort, Newwald, Bellview, Crystalbush, Butterley, Fallgate, Lochston, , Valview, Goldston, Summernesse, Southfield, Janvale, Greenmist, Snowway, Westgrass, Westerhill, Flowerbush, Redwheat, Olddell, Glasshill, Elvenar

(I used a fantasy town name generator)

My island name is Faebelle and my island representive is Tigris (no surprise there), however, im thinking about creating another character for placing custom paths and being able to decorate another house.

The question is, should I go with a name that relates to Tigris? Or to Hogwarts?(because the new house will be hogwarts)

Here's what i have so far for possible choices:

Euphrates - Like the Tigris and Euphrates River, which would be kind of funny, but would mean people would think Tigris is named after the river instead of my favorite animal.

Panthera/Raenpath/Theran - taken from tiger's scientific name Panthers Tigris, but with the letters switched, its related and it sounds cool, but does it really work for hogwarts? Are these names witchy or magical spunding enough?

Nymphadora/Nymphaea -Tonks' real name, who went to hogwarts, and also goes with the town name since nymphs are similar to faeries. But it just seems to simple and plain to go with this choice.

I'm also open to other ideas if anyone wants to suggest something!

You get 10 characters for both your villager's name and your island's name.

Thanks

So, I don't know if you still haven't decided, but…

From what I've read, If I were you I'd be choosing between the last "two" suggestions. I think Panthera/Raenpath/Theran all sound very well magical enough! Maybe the middle one the most, since it also reminds of "Raven" (and thus perhaps Ravenclaw)?

Panthera would make your IR's and this char's names pretty coordinated, since panther is also another feline species. Theran somehow feels more like ancient magic to me, so maybe it would fit with the faery theme (like, ancient magical creatures)?

Nymphadora/Nymphaea also sound like a good idea, but then you lose that little link with the "tiger" of your IR. So I tried mixing it with the above just for fun, and I found Panthadora/Theradora! I think they sound nice :3

I hope this helps ;p

 

[tigris713]

I like Theradora and Ravenpath. I also thought of Meerkat and Maru as other ideas. Tigris was a camp name, and so is Meerkat. Then Maru is the name of my familiar in DnD. Decisions decisions. Thanks your input!

What about Cresentia

I apologise if this isn't the right place to ask this specifically, but I thought making a thread for this kind of a question wasn't a good idea and this is the closest pre-existing thread I can find!

Anyway, I already have an island name which is Hazy Falls. I settled on this name a while before I got the game, simply for the reason a lot of things I've named in the past (usernames etc.) has the word Hazy/Haze in it. Not sure why, I just like it! Anyway, at first the name reminded me of clouds and a moon but honestly, now I'm not so sure.

My question is, what does the name "Hazy Falls" make you think of? I'm struggling with an idea for a potential flag because I'm not sure what the name really makes me think of anymore, but the theme of my island is very "witchy". I hope it's okay to ask this here!

Hi there! Ok so, funny thing, when I first read your island name I thought of the season (fall/autumn) before realizing you probably meant waterfalls x)
But this did give me a little idea for maybe a flag!

Just be aware that I don't really have access to many colors nor a convenient editing tool rn so I made a small messy drawing on my phone :'3
So, suggestion (aka what popped up in my head):

I tried to make the background kinda dark. On the left is a waterfall (supposed to be a lighter color but oh well), and on the right is an autumn tree! I tried to add some haze in the form of clouds or coming from the bottom of the waterfall.
Of course it looked way better in my head, but heh :'3

I hope this little mess helps you? :'D

Oh my gosh yes, this is such a neat idea! But yeah my initial thought was more waterfalls, even though the "falls" part didn't really play much into my thought process (I know that places exist called "x Falls") if that makes sense. BUT I do love autumn (fall) as well, so this is a really nice idea! Honestly the main thing that stuck in my head whenever I heard "hazy" was clouds and stuff, but I wanted it to be more than just clouds. But this is a super nice idea, thank you!

I was thinking of making an all cat island, preferably all female kitties. I'm completely stumped on a name for my island.. I thought of typical things like Neko Bay or Nyan Bay, silly things like that but they seem a little.. eh. Any suggestions? :<

Hello :D
Since you've already tried going to different languages, I went a bit this way as well! Here's what I found:

In German, there's Kätzin, which means "female cat", and Kätzinnen which is the plural of it.
I've also found katzenhaft, that apparently means "catlike" and I think it sounds neat!
Then I tried another language, and for "cat" I found koshka in Russian!

Any of these inspiring you?

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

If you're looking for something a bit weirder, I reset today and decided to go for Goonville for my Island.

probably going to name another account to be Gibby or something weird like that

 

[DirtyD]

Wooohoooo! i get to start my 2nd island today.

I have been on the fence whether this will be a brand new nonTT island in the northern hemisphere instead or extension of my current island. (My main island is a kitty island in the southern hemisphere and time travel like a madman)

My current island is missing flower farms, the ability to trade villagers (i mean i could but dont want to with my perfect list) and room for events...

Sooo I decided to make my new island an extension of my first.. So now im stuck doing names.

My main island is named Pooville. My ingame name is DirtyD. Im considering making it the same.. But.. That sounds.. Boring.

Any thoughts on island 2s name? Something that references my main island would be great. I wont be avle to make u til after work today.. So i have plenty of time

Ha. Thats funny.

I had considered "ur in Pooville"

This part is a joke.. But i tell everyone that Pooville was choice number 2 for island names lol (really it was my first choice 20 years ago or however long lol)
