What are you planning to name your island?

[Tobyjgv]

Probably Sayama! I've stuck with it for a while now, and it sounds just right for the theme I want to go for. I based the name off of the forest that Totoro was inspired by! I want to make a naturey and fairy/magical themed town, and I think that the origins of the name would fit perfectly with the vibes and ideas im going for! I love some of the other responses' names!

I had originally planned to name my island "Boondopolis" to reference Wild World. My second choice was Solace Isle. However, if this character limit of 10 thing turns out to be true, that eliminates both of them. I'm now considering Wild Isle or Nacho Isle, but have yet to make a final decision. Guess I'll figure it out soon enough, lol.


I was really hoping for a character limit of 12! Oh well.

I don't have any concrete names ideas yet however, I really like the names Serenity, Elysium and Pinegrove. So I'll probably name it something along the lines of those.

 

[Speeny]

I thought about it and even though I commented before, I might name my island Sotoba. The town from one of my favourite Anime series Shiki. If I choose to predominantly base the island around horror/dark themes, it'll work out well. If not, I still like it or will think of something else.

I am still going with Amalthea. I was happy that Merupuri was the only island in the dream suite with this name, hope same goes with Amalthea

 

[Jas]

i'm not sure yet! i've been juggling SO so many options:

mayfair
gelsey or gelsey bay
wabi-sabi
siren isle
queequeg
spectre (from my favourite movie, big fish!)

 

[Loreley]

I'll probably go with Amalfi, an Italian coastal town.

 

[isabll]

I think I might go for Argadnel, Antillia/Antilia or Scylla. The first two are mythical islands and the last one is the mythical sea monster. I prefer Antillia out of the three, but since I'll play with my brother and likely my father as well I might let them have a say in it.

 

[drowningfairies]

I still haven't quite figured it out, as I usually go with themes and go from there.
With as much that has been shown in NH, I haven't decided if I do want a theme this time or not.
So far I've had a Twilight, Salem, and Macaron, so I'm going to try to not do those three.

 

[Winona]

I'm having a hard time right now. I chose to name it Ponyo long ago and still like it very much.
But for a couple of days now, I'm thinking of naming it Matcha. I really love and have been fascinated by Japan for most of my life, I love Matcha tea and think that it sounds really cute and island-ey. Me and my boyfriend also plan to visit Japan for the first time next year or the year after (depending on when we've saved up enough) - so that would also match my anticipation and joy.
But I'll most likely stick with Ponyo since all of my friends prefer that name and I love Ghibli!

 

[OLoveLy]

I gonna give my island with a name sounds like nature, calm and cute. (still looking for the inspiration...)

[sierra]

I have a weird aversion to words that end in the same vowel which is making it really hard to find a cute Spanish name because I?ll the ones I like end in ?a?.

 

[Megan.]

I'm going to name mine Rokkenjima. It's from an visual novel that I hold very close to my heart and this seems like the perfect opportunity as it's an island as well!

 

[ElysiaCrossing]

I'm thinking of naming mine honeycomb if the character limit is higher!

 

[DJStarstryker]

The only thing awkward about that is the "jima" part of that name means island. That means it'd be called "Rokkenjima Island" in-game, or "Rokken Island Island".

is it confirmed that "-island" will be added in-game? as far as I know the direct implied that this will not be the case, referring to "Ninten" (the island in the direct) only as "Ninten" and not "Ninten island" in villager conversations.

Also, another map in the direct showed the name "Nintenland". If at all, they automatically add "land", but not "island". But I thinkn (and hope) that Nintenland was just a completely different island than Ninten, because that would confirm 10-character-names at least.

It is possible they used Nintenland because Nintendoland could have been too long to fit. If that's the case, character limit is likely 10.

 

[ChibiCutlet]

Cutlet because it reminds me of the times I watched Fruits basket(anime) I was eating a Pork Cutlet. So Cutlet will be the name of my island

 

[Slothie]

I'm naming mine "Camp Feral". It's a furry con I go to every year, but it'll also fit really nice with the theme of animals on an island. My island will be very nature / camp like and arranged like a camp ground!
