What is the meaning behind your island name?

[AtomicNyx]

I've always been a fan of the Jurassic World/Jurassic Park franchise. And in this franchise, the islands all start with the word "Isla" meaning island (in Spanish the word means island).

I'm also a night owl, I feel most happy and comfortable at night, as soon as the sun sets. I loved the Sailor Moon manga/anime as a preteen and as a teenager I enjoyed reading the House of Night novels. Both of these franchises had me fascinated over their use of the crescent moon

So I named my island "Isla Luna" or Moon Island in Spanish. It's a Mashup of good memories, so the name just seemed fitting ♡

I love island names that start "Isla". Is your username also intended to be a HoN reference?

My island is my name + "san" mountain. It also means carbonated drink in Korean, haha.

Oh yeah! I had to double check what my username on here is, but yes!

I loved the religion/spirituality of Nyx in the HoN novels. I found it very interesting, along with the consorts and affinities. The beliefs and stories told about Nyx and how things worked in that series were brilliantly written.

Though, I was a teenager when I last read the entire series so im not sure how well that last statement holds up if I were to reread them.

Oops! Sorry for rambling on!

Mistfall. I wanted something sort of original (though I did find someone else who had the same island name) and something simple without over thinking it. I also wanted something island like rather than a town. I thought of stuff I wanted on the island and the thing I wanted most was multiple waterfalls. Thought of terms other than just "Waterfall" and thought about how some waterfalls seems to have mist falling or surrounding it. Then came Mistfall.

I have 2 islands right now and I'll explain the names:

(New Island) Destiny: Named after the world "Destiny Islands" from Kingdom Hearts 1 that was destroyed by the darkness. I like think of it as like my own personal island where I can express what my interests are with no limitations.

(2nd Island) Twilight: Named after of the world "Twilight Town" from Kingdom Hearts 2. I figured that it would be sequel to my now deleted island "Traverse" so its a reminder of all the old stuff I carried over from that island to this island. With it being set in the South Hemisphere unlike Destiny that its in the North, I can always visit that island whenever I am feeling too bored of being on one island.

Mine is named after my blog on Tumblr called Evermore-Fashion (minus the fashion part) and I've always loved the ethereal vibes associated with the word evermore... before Taylor Swift made it more trendy.

My newest island name, Hurawalhi, is named after a resort in the Maldives. This island is going to be a tropical atoll, and I adore the more tropical-sounding names, so after doing some research on different types of resorts, I found the name and it stuck.

In New leaf I named my town Kiwi. There was no big reason other then I liked the sound of it and I do like kiwis. I am not the best at naming things so when it was time to name our islands in New Horizons. I ended up using Kiwi Isle because I still liked it and as a homage to my past town.

Tofu: I think food names are super cute town names and I like tofu. Not very deep with the town name on this one lol

 

[Weebgirlstan]

I had many islands 1 was called anime land because anime is my comfort place when I was in my depression state and another one was called ryuk, ryuk is from death note one of my fav animes and my current one is called sprinkle because I love sprinkles on cakes cupcakes and reminds me of magic

 

[Parkai]

Mine is Faebrook, I just think it's a pretty name.

 

[Kattascata]

Mine is Ragnar-ö-k

”Ö” in swedish means island so i thought it would be perfect for my island.
i just like the idea of an island already being doomed by its name

 

[DragonAceSg7]

I was completely vapor-locked when I went to name my island. It was the oddest thing. I chose DragonLand since, well, DragonAce but after too much thought realized I should have named it Passione, but also wasn't sure if passion was allowed.

 

[StephOnACNL]

It's the same name as my New Leaf town name. Also Lobelia is significant because I got the name from one of my favorite anime, Ouran High School Host Club

 

[Lyrica]

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my island name. My island is called MilkyWay. I really wanted to choose a name that would be dreamy and meaningful. I ended up very happy with it.
it was also the first time that I’ve used this new nickname, Lyrica. It really is a part of who I am right now and it meant a lot a to me.

Vesperia's name is based on the Latin word for evening and the other island is Tristesse, which means sadness.

 

[Aquilla]

My island is called Twinleaf! I named it after the starting town of my frist Pokemon game (Diamond). I wanted my island to be filled with childhood nostalgia and nothing is more nostalgic to me than my old Pokemon games

 

[Fruitcup]

My island’s name is El Mirador, I named it after a park I used to go to when I was a kid.
