Need help naming your island and islanders? Ask here!

gonna restart my island today.
I FINALLY made up a theme for it, being fairies/mermaids/pirates, pretty much just based off of select disney franchises i like.
any ideas for a name?
Mermaids + pirates = Neverland

Something with Cove or Bay maybe? Glimmercove, Glimmerbay (makes me think of gold and pearls and the wings of faeries or the scales of mermaids)
 
I'm kind of considering restarting my island already, even though I've only been playing for like a month :rolleyes: I'm just really bothered with my resident services placement!

Anyway, I went into my current island with a witchy theme in mind, and now I think I want something different. My mind changes all the time so I kind of want something neutral so it's not really bound to a particular theme, but something that makes it easy to represent on a flag! I like soft sounding words, and I still really like words associated with the moons and stars etc. I also would like a name that looks nice as all one word rather than two separate words as my last island name was separated into two words.
 
I have some island name suggestions I just came up with for anyone who wants them! Some of them have a certain theme, others don't.

-Mapleham
-Warmwood
-Tropicana
-Coconut Cove
-Thimble Bay
-Chansla
-Everland

Dark/witchcore:
-Bloody Bay
-Requiem
-Redrum Grove
-Hazel Snap
-Witch Hazel Way

Avatar:
-New Ozai
-Omashu

Hey guys! I need some input on naming my 5th character
My current characters are: Fae, Coral, Rosewynn, and Willoughby
So I’d like the 5th to not clash too much with the currents, you know?

The fifth character’s house will be a university, so they are either going be a student or teacher!
here are my current ideas:
-Ellowynn (would be Rosewynn’s sister)
-Rylan (also Rosy’s sibling)
-Maeverie
-Reverie

I like Reverie a lot! Some other names I'd recommend are Elodie, Lyrine, and Yvonna!
 
I hadn't really thought about what to name my Island when I get started tomorrow, so now I am going crazy thinking about it.
I am toying with calling it Keiino Island after my favourite band.
 
I posted a couple days ago about my thoughts on reseting my animal crossing island. I'd like to recreate the 100 acre woods map and make a winnie the pooh inspired island -- but my current island is so cluttered it would literally take almost 50 days to get close to the layout I'd like to start decorating. I'd get to keep all of my items and bells, and I'd also really enjoy playing through the beginning of the game again!
Also for my layout plans the resident services would also have to be closer to the airport -- and I'd like to be able to change other things about my map.

Haven't completely decided, but getting close to convincing myself to reset!​

Do you have any name suggestions for a Winnie The Pooh themed island? "Aker Wood" fits, however I think having something less obvious would be cute (especially if I decide I'd like to switch up themes in a year or two!)

Hmm... Hunnyaker? Hunnaker? Hunny Wood/Hunnywood?

Also, I remember seeing your post a few days ago, and I'm excited to see what you manage to do with a new island! I LOVE your idea!
 
It would be Acre Wood, just a heads up. :) Also, maybe "Blustery" or "Rain Cloud". Those were songs from one of the movies back in the day

I actually spelt is "Aker" since that's how it's spelled on the map! (Where nearly everything is miss spelled 😂 ) Blustery is absolutely adorable and I will definitely add it to my list thank you!

Ah Hunnywood is so cute! I will definitely add it to the list! Yay thank you so much, I'm really looking forward to working on it!
 
Is it allowed on here to name your island in another language that doesn’t use the Roman alphabet? Probably a super dumb question but I’m fairly new to trading in New Horizons.

You might be able to if you change the switch language to the language you want to make your island in and change it back to English. Or you can just play in the other language b but it might be hard to trade off you don't know the English localization name for certain item

I put it in the other language and switched it back to English. There’s no way I can play the game in Chinese, it’s just too much reading 😆
 
I think I'm going to restart soon and I'm not sure if I'm going to pick "Yuka" again or something else.

I was thinking of "Yuka Bay"?

There's not really a theme.
 
My boyfriend is the one who owns the switch we play animal crossing on and he started the game and chose the name, which is Froyo. It’s cute, but I think I would’ve preferred something Disney themed....

here are some I’ve thought of

Paradise Falls (Up)
Arendelle or Ahtohallan (Frozen)
Dunbroch (Brave)
Motunui or Te Fiti (Moana)
Kauai or Ohana (Lilo & Stitch)
Monstropolis (Monsters Inc.)
Agrabah or Ababwa (Aladdin)
Villeneuve (Beauty and the Beast)
Atlantica (The Little Mermaid)
Hundred Acre Woods (Winnie the Pooh)
Neverland or Pixie Hollow (Peter Pan/Tinkerbell)
Evangeline (Princess and the Frog)
Mushu (Mulan)
Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island)
Aulani (Disney resort in Hawaii)

okay, honestly I could keep going but I’ll stop here. If I ever get my own switch (and therefore my own island) I’m definitely picking out a Disney-themed island name!

Tangled!

That's the only Disney thing I've seen, and that's because I was in hospital and it was the only channel.

Twasn't bad! ^_^

Well the problem is your island name can only be max 10 characters long so some of them are not an option. You could always just make it Disney(land) :) Or choose something that really fits everything you do. Agrabah sounds too themed and is very strange when seeing an tropical island haha.

Oh man I totally didn’t realize it could only be 10 characters. That sucks!
Some probably are a bit too themed, but someone might like it!
 
I'm not making another island right now, but I have been getting ideas for another one. NH is my first AC game, so I kinda just went into it without a plan or knowing exactly what kind of stuff AC has.
So, I have been writing down my island ideas incase my save data ever corrupts and I have to start over, or if I get bored in the future later and want to start over with something completely different.
Any who my island idea has apples as the main/native fruit and flowers will be locked mostly to orange yellow black and purple and a little bit of white. I don't care about the native flower, but if I could pick, cosmos.
And I plan on a brick Lighthouse.
I kinda want an autumn-ish theme because i love autumn but I don't want it too heavy because I want it to still look normal through other seasons of the year.
Any ideas on what to name such an Island?
All I have is Sunny Bay >.<
