What are you planning to name your island?

[mocha.]

You're all so creative with your names! I can't wait to see what your towns will look like ♡

I'll choose something related to stars, mythology or gemstones. I have no specific idea but maybe Amethist, Emerald, Chalcedony, Tourmaline, Sunstone, Heliodor, Asphodel, Atlantis, Hesperides, Somerset, Avalon, Fortunate, Caer Sidi, C?ailnge, Pomegranate and much more ! A big list, you can see haha. I'll depend of the number of letters allowed in this AC ; for me, eight is not enough !

I really really like the name Pomegranate! Hopefully they'll allow enough characters for it c:

My New Leaf town is called Saffron and I'm going to keep my mayor who is called Cinnamon. I want to keep the spice theme so I'm going to call my island Cassia which is a type of cinnamon

If you name it Atlantis, your island might sink into the ocean.

In New Leaf, my town was called Teaville because my irl name starts with the letter, T. However, that gives a more town or village vibe, so I have no idea if I will keep it or come up with something else. In the past I have used Teaville, Narnia, Paris, and Italy. It'd be cool to have some pop culture name, but I also want my island to be my own.

 

[Sanaki]

Either Yevon, Spira, Sulani, or something else. I'm not trying to go through with a tropical theme because of the nature of the game having seasons.

 

[meo]

I have some I pondered a bit that I like but I'm not really hard trying to decide yet until the game gets closer.

 

[Lemons]

I haven't decided yet. My WW, CF and NL were all named Tellius because of Fire Emblem. It's finally time to change that!
I'm thinking of either Yunmeng or Il Mheg, but then I might try to think of an original name instead of referencing something, not sure...

 

[Kattastic]

I?m thinking about going with Ithica. Got that Greek mythology vibe

 

[meggiewes]

It depends on if they automatically attach anything to it or not. I keep wondering if your island will end up being "____land" or something similar. If it was just ______ Island it would be one thing. But, ______land would be something else.

Sorry if this has been mentioned in this thread already, but have we had any sort of solid confirmation on the character limit for naming our island yet? This is a major factor in my choice of name. My current favorite would take 11 characters, so I’m a little worried I won’t be able to use it.

 

[tajikey]

I will be Tajikey of ExIsle (or Exisle).

Oh no! It sounds like you are exiling yourself with that one!

 

[pawprints]

Hopefully, there are enough characters to go with Wonderland, as that’s the one that the three of us who will be sharing the island agreed on! Otherwise, we’re really in for it ��

 

[Brookie]

Alluravail! I got "vail" from a fantasy kingdom name generator (there are gens for other types of places/themes too) and I also combined allure with it.

 

[Xara]

that?s a nice name! my island will be called apricity, which means the warmth of the sun c:

The most we've seen is 10 characters but Nintendo haven't confirmed anything themselves. I wouldn't lose hope, but I'd have a backup just in case

I have my fingers crossed that it will be 12, since I remember counting character limits for things on other Switch games, and it being 12. But yeah, I’ve got some other name ideas I’m mulling over just in case.

 

[Elissarosalee]

im going with lothlorien or just lorien from lotr

 

[TheRealWC]

Yes, I decided awhile ago. I'm going with Escapada, which is Spanish for "getaway." It really fits the theme of the game and contrasts nicely with my New Leaf town name, which was Polaris.
