In New Leaf, I had a town called Orion for a while, and I didn't want to carry it over to New Horizons, partially because I feel like I've exhausted the name. I did want to keep the celestial-ish theme, though! I fought with naming it Stardust for a while, but eventually landed on it!
I guess I sometimes see animal crossing as a place for a second life, place to escape reality and right now with the coronavirus its what some people need.
Larimar! I wanted a more "general" island name that can fit any kind of theme I'd come up with, since I'm still not sure how I'm planning on building it. I named it after a very pretty gemstone that looks like the ocean waves! I also just really like rocks, and naming some old towns in New Leaf has gotten me in the habit of doing that :>
my usual online alias is even associated with sapphire
