What are you planning to name your island?

[Blood Eclipse]

Please, please, please let me have enough character space to be able to fit "Stardew/Starfall Valley".

 

[Neechan]

I think you're right! In the September Direct, the same slot that that read 'Treehouse Miles!' in the Treehouse was changed to read 'Ninten Miles!', so I think the only reason it'd be different is because of the island name, meaning our town names would be able to have at least 9 (probably 10) characters!

I'm not sure what name I'm going to choose; I have five I'm currently debating between but I've been changing my mind a lot on them so I might just choose whatever sticks out to me the most on release day.

I really hope that i'm right, and even if i'm not, it'll be just fine

I've been going back and forth now for some reason. Originally I settled on Reketta, some original name I made up but lately I haven't been feeling it lately. So I started looking for more options and came across a few works that could do:

Meraki - Greek for something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you're doing, whatever it may be.
Odyssey - Greek for a journey, like the work.
Elysian - Greek for beautiful or creative, divinely inspired, peaceful and perfect.

I'm not sure what to go for, but I'm probably going to stick with one of these three for now... I wonder what anyone else thinks about these?

 

[Yuni]

Elysian is a nice name! I'm more familiar Elysion/Elysian Fields in reference to heaven and the afterlife but I'm not that familiar with the Greek language itself tbh ^^;

Not sure if I should use my old town names or think of new ones...

Old names are: Skyhook, Oortis, Altair, Inaba,... (astrology themed XD)

New names I am considering: Sol (Sun) , Yoi Yoru (Good/Pleasant Night), Hotarubi (Firefly's light)

Hoping we have longer names!

I still haven't decided yet. I should probably get on that so I don't end up staring at the town name screen for an hour. Really depends on how big the character limit is.

I think I'm going to name my town/island Butlin's.
Something about it has really grown on me, because at first the island theme hadn't totally convinced me (I prefer foresty towns and the tropical vibes were slightly worrying).
But now I'm so excited to move to my island and the little holiday resort (Butlin's) just seemed so fitting.

Just glad to have the name sorted, I know how long I took starting up new leaf because I didn't know what to name my town!

 

[creamyy]

literally stressing out bc i have no idea what i'm going to name my island

 

[VillageDuck]

Currently undecided. I'll probably be scouring through island names from the Agean, the Caribbean, and Polynesia to create some sort of unholy amalgam that is suitable evocative of island life without being too explicitly tied to any one existing culture.

I've gotten to a point where I scour posts just to see your reply.

Just kidding - thank you!

Does anyone know how people?s island will be introduced?
As in will they be ________ island, or the island of ________.

I feel like if they?re introduced as the island of ________ my island name might sound a bit odd?

 

[Cherrili]

I'm horrible at naming things, I can barely decide on my character's name! Though I think I'll name her Cherrili... As for my Island, I'm a Kingdom Hearts nerd - so I'll probably name it something like Destiny or even Destati (Italian for "Awakening") if I'm feeling fancy! c:

Have it ready just in case - I won't judge you.

 

[Feraligator]

I can't decide between

Westwind
Westport
Windfell
Windermere (although this is +2 characters over the limit)
Delport
Delwest
Delwind
Delwhite
Delfino

Ack.

I wish we could have clarification of this! Same problem with my island name.

 

[davidlblack]

maybe Balamb, after Final Fantasy VIII

 

[Rainy Day]

There's some nice names in this thread!

I'll be naming my town the same as my previous towns, River H. It's a throwback to Nancy Drew's hometown of River Heights. I wonder if the character limit will be more than 8 this time around.

 

[faiiryvent]

i?m planning to name mine apricity - it means the warmth of the sun or something along those pines, which i think is cute especially for a march release :3

 

[Venn]

After still stressing out for a name, one just came naturally to me and I ended up loving it. I think its perfect and it is not even closely related to anything I have mentioned before. I have told a few friends and they liked it as well. For now, I am going to keep it a secret so anything in my previous posts can be used if it inspires you!

 

[effluo]

I still really like the previous names I used.

Stardust
Lullaby
Laputa

I wanted to originally name my town Delerium, but there wasn’t enough space. ��
I guess we’ll see if it fits this time. If not, I’ll just use one of the other three.
