What are you planning to name your island?

Well my friends and I were going to come up with a name, and we decided on Haimish. Then, all of the sudden, they want to name is Carcass. Like a dead animal. So, I've decided to make my own town so I can be fully proud of it. I plan on naming it Haimish, Glacious, or Meraki.
 
Cicero, I am a huge Skyrim fan and my last town (obviously) was named Cicero but i didnt get to play it enough so I'd love to continue in ACNH and hopefully get some use out of the name this time.
 
I will name my town Alfalorm!
This weird name is how I've been calling my towns ever since I first played an AC game and I've never changed it out of nostalgia.

It doesn't mean anything, other than I was trying to find a "unique" sounding name and this is the first thing that came to mind back then.

Ah i remember the clown companion, i used to name mine Solitude or whiterun, good times.

That's a wonderful name! I love Cicero! He's the best :)
 
I'm struggling hard with this.... but I need to know how many characters I'm allowed before this can really be decided. I like names that have Bay or Key at the end of them which cuts a lot of characters down for that....
 
Part of me wants to go with my classic 'Kokiri' (what I name all of my AC towns, and Harvest Moon farms), but another part of me really wants to do something new. The trouble is, I have almost 0 ideas for a different town name. I'd like to do something pretty and floral-themed, but I think I'll just wait and see how many characters we're allowed before I get my heart set on anything.
 
Either Sandcastle, Seasong and I like Peach Beach but prob too many characters. :(

I am still sold on naming my island Arcadia, but if I ever get a Switch Lite on top of my regular Switch and make a second island, I am thinking of naming it Koholint.

Depends on the character limit. .. probably I'll go with Neverland or an Hawaiian name. :)
 
So.. after a bit more thought I have decided that even if there's a larger character limit, that I will pick "Seliana" as my Island's name. I've grown rather fond of the name in recent days.
 
Crossing my fingers for a sliiightly longer town name limit...I'm thinking of naming my town Tymbaltun! I've done stuff like Estival, Autumnal...more seasonal names in the past (and I'm not quite sure what I did when I was much younger), but I wanted to make a name that's more unique but invokes those kinda vibes. Hence "tymbal" = the organ cicadas and similar insects use to create sound, which reminds me of a lot of lazy summer days! I'm technically more of an autumn person, though, so if I think of something similarly cute for that, who knows...
 
Probably 'Tedllie' (maybe a different spelling, Teddlie, Tedddllie, Tedlie) as it's a fusion of both of my dogs names, Teddy and Mollie :cool:
 
Oh boy, I'm the biggest perfectionist and this is already messing me up, lmao. The favorites on my list are Elldaye, Esteri, Riverrun, Sunlynn and Madi. I might go with my current town name, Skai.
 
I really had not given it much thought. Since Gamecube my primary town has always been Willowby...it's my eight character abbreviation of the town in my favorite 60s Twilight Zone episode... "A Stop at Willoughby" If we get to use ten characters I will probably use Willoughby.

However, The past couple of days I have been thinking about some other names..

Bali H'ai (exotic island in the musical South Pacific...in the film they used Makna Mountain in Kauai, Hawaii and the name translates to "gift from heaven" . The show was based on Tales of the South Pacific by James Mitchner and his inspiration for Bali H'ai was the recently active volcanic island Ambae in Vanuta.

Weeki Wachee (Florida state park with a water park featuring hot springs and the famous Weeki Watchee mermaids)

Shangri-la (mythical utopian valley in the Himalayas...dictionary definition...a beautiful, imaginary place where life approaches perfection)

My hubby suggested Ho'omaha .... which is what google translated relax to be in Hawaiian. I think I will probably go with that :D
 
I haven't decided yet. I was thinking of something foresty with the word oak or elm in it, but now I'm thinking about doing something in Hawaiin, Samoan, or a different polynesian language. It reminds me of Pokemon Sun where I have my character named a Hawaiin name.
