What is the meaning of your Island name?

[TiredStudent]

My island name is Ethos Isle, since Spirit was one letter too long I looked at some smaller synonyms and Ethos spoke to me. It sort of makes me remember my aspirations both in game and irl. Since Animal Crossing is how I start my day, it makes up sort of a manifestation ritual.

Longwood is the name of Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and the name of my island as the name means a lot to me.

Dunno. It was my sister's island before mine and I didn't want to reset. I made it work for my plans though and imply it's a local abbreviation for a longer name.

The Great = The Great Bear Capital

Tropicako, I just wanted to make something that looks and sounds unique. The island itself is a Japanese style town with a bunch of rabbits and squirrels living together. lol

 

[Bulbadragon]

Tofu! I just really like tofu and thought it would be a cute island name. No deeper significance, haha

 

[nocctea]

Mine is named Chamomile cause I want to make a dense forest style island full of chamomile flowers! (white cosmos lol)

carambola is also known as star fruit. my original island was named guanabana which is another tropical fruit i love. when i restarted i decided to pick a different fruit and the closest in my mind was carambola. it's such a pretty fruit!

Ooh, let me join in.
So I have my island name set to “Westward.” I picked this name because I live in the US and the US is in the West. I like how versatile "Westward" is. I would have named my island after a current interest of mine, but it's always changing and soon I won't like the name.

Mine is called Reverie bc I wanted to make the island feel like an eternal daydream of happiness and comfort

I chose Prandium because my brother and I booted up the game while I was fixing lunch (Prandium is Latin for lunch) lol!

 

[Zerous]

My island is called Cekrai, a mix of sea (because it's an island) and Darkrai (because I like it). I just kept mixing words that I liked together until I made something I liked the sound of!

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Melursus is part of the scientific name for the Sloth Bear! I thought it sounded really unique back in my New Leaf days and carried it on in New Horizons

Your islands are all so nice sounding. I can never come up with names on the spot, so I look around my room for inspiration. I saw my poster for the movie The Thing and named my island Outpost 31. I guess I found it funny to have a cute island with even cuter villagers, named after my favorite horror movie.

In retrospect I would have come up with something more appropriate, but I am committed to the name (and also I found a custom design for a movie poster of The Thing... so I am not the only one out there!)

I personally like simple names, so Pumpkin seemed to fit just fine. I really like it, between that and the name Blossom.

Leaf town, I was in a rush when the game came out and I was too excited to play that I gave my island name the most generic one in existence, I regret it lol, same applies to my ign.

 

[MrBox]

Dirtway!
I wanted to make a trash island

 

[Lancelot]

I called mine Portorosso because I just watched Luca

 

[Mistreil]

My island was supposed to be named "Mimosa" first like the flower and my cat, or Komorebi but both names were already taken by members here. Then I came with other names, already taken as well, and since I had no other ideas, it ended up as "Babaorum" reference to a dessert and Asterix comic book.
