What are you planning to name your island?

[Giddy]

Oh wow, I really like this name!!

Thank you~ I feel it really expresses what animal crossing has been for a lot of people.
Tried looking for unique words that express travel and freedom and such.
One of my towns Fernweh is called this because it means: an urge to travel basically XD

I've got loads of this unique names I've saved because they sound really pleasant!

Haha omg that is so cool! They’re such unique names and I like the fact that they actually have meaning, it makes them sound even better!
It’s super cool that you have a lots of names saved o: and Fernweh is a perfect name, for New Leaf or New Horizon!!

A couple of months ago, I decided I would name my island Delta, and my main girl would be named Lys, so she would be Lys from Delta. It might be sort of silly, though, it's kind of named after Delta, as in the airline. Well, I have three months to change my mind!

In New Leaf I named my town Poco, which means little and I chose it because it is used in music (poco a poco) and I loved that.

I wanted to continue that somehow in NH but I don't know what to use. This is a bigger game on a console so I thought of using the opposite of poco, and that would be Molto, but I don't like how that sounds. I also thought, since it's like a vacation island, choosing Farmata or Caesura for the meanings of breaks or rests.

I guess something like Crescendo would work too but that's not my favorite either. I'll have to keep thinking on it.

I'm thinking of Starlite or Hiatus.

Ooo I really like the name Hiatus..

To be honest, I had a name planned out a few months ago, but I'm not so sure on it now and to be honest once again, I'm waiting to see how long the character limit for the name of our islands will be. Like many other people have said, hopefully the character limit will be increased to 12-15. If they do increase the limit, I actually have quite a few names planned out right now. So far they would be Star Island, Honey Moon or Honey Star, West Tropic, and a few others to name a few. There would be endless opportunities of names if they did increase. o:

My New Leaf town was named Stardust and while I loved it, I want to keep it in the past. I thought for awhile naming my Island 'Magic' but I'm not so sure anymore.

 

[neoratz]

last time i answered something like this i said im probably just gonna name it nowhere like my new leaf town but now i'm not really sure! nowhere sounds good with neo but i want something with a sillier vibe cuz i don't think i'll want to make it natural/forest again......... i don't have an idea i really like yet but maybe something circus-y like parade or pinwheel.... or just circus

 

[isabll]

Still haven't settled on a name, it's like my last two brain cells completely stop working once I try to come up with one. Hope I can figure something out before March.

 

[Pnixie]

I love reading your names !
I named a few towns Wisteria like Wisteria Lane in Desperate Housewives, I'd like something new for the island. Maybe Nampara like in the TV show Poldark.
I also like Neaco (ocean backward), it refers to my first name ... I still have time to think about it

 

[Licorice]

Thinking about naming my island Papaya or Barnacle Bay is the character limit allows it. Or I could go with my usual name Anuenue. (Means rainbow in Hawaiian and is also a floating island in Baten Kaitos)

 

[TheRealWC]

Escapada, Spanish for “getaway”

 

[Kitzie]

I really hope they expand the number of characters you can have in your town/islands name. Not sure what I would name it, probably won't decide until I get the game.

I am thinking of naming it after my previous NL Town, Totori. It's an existing town in Japan but also sounds a lot like Totoro.
However, in the past few days, another name popped up in my head: Ponyo.
This is a Ghibli film and the name is made up and supposed to resemble the sound it makes when you touch something squishy, which is just so funny.

Yeah, I like the Japanese-style kind of names. And I agree that it is much harder to find a name for an island than for a town! I just like deep forests and mountains and fields and dislike tropical environments and islands, which makes it so hard to come up with something fitting!

@Pnixie: Really love Neaco! This is such a beautiful name for an island and very unique! You should totally go for it.

 

[CyanCities]

At the moment, I'm kind of torn between two different names for my island. I initially was planning on naming my island Voyager. No special story behind the name, I just like the word a lot.

However, I've also considered naming my island Astoria, which is where I currently live. I feel like it could be a nice memento to name my island after the place I call home right now.

 

[PugLovex]

since its an island, i wanted to do something tropical, and i'm deciding between Palm Bay or Sea bay. i'm hoping that they add a higher character limit to town and name, because i've always had to do Malayna since my name was too long lol

i recently got a switch for chistmas, so i'm pretty excited

Its not a tropical island - its a temperate island. Great Britain is an island, Nova Scotia, Greenland and Iceland...many many non-tropical islands.

Wouldn't you consider it 2 or more islands? Northern Ireland is part of GB but it's not connected to England Scotland and Wales
