What will you name your island?

Last time, I named my town in NL Yahimu (Pretty random name that had no meaning with me and I just wanted a Japanese sounding name). But for this time, I thought a lot about things I heard in the past. Wether it was on the internet, in the game, or in real life, I thought hard about the name of the island. And for some reason, one of the ideas that popped up was calling my island Hudie. I believe it means Butterfly in German? Correct me if wrong, but this is the only name I thought for my island so far.
 
I've been contemplating this since the E3 announcement. While I haven't settled on a name just yet, I'll probably do something like a code name! (Maybe coordinates?) I've been wanting to do a Jurassic Park themed town for a while, but since New Leaf was extremely restricting, I might just do that for my island! I would name it Isla Nublar or something, but at the same time I really love the coordinates idea. We'll see! ;-)

Debating on whether to differ from my original (Since CF). Probably something water themed. Maybe Triggerfish, one of my fave fish type... they're pretty cool
 
Definitely something with my own name in it, seeing as every town I've ever made has been called Amyville. Maybe just something simple like Amy Isle? I wonder how many spaces they'll give us...
 
I wish they would give us this basic info.

Hey out there, let us have 15 characters.

Thanks.
 
I'm not quite sure yet. I might call it Zeist like my previous towns, but we now have an island instead, so I might choose a different name.


[...] And for some reason, one of the ideas that popped up was calling my island Hudie. I believe it means Butterfly in German? Correct me if wrong, but this is the only name I thought for my island so far.

Butterfly in German is "Schmetterling", but I think hudie might be the Chinese word for butterfly.
 
I need 2 names for my islands and have started a list.
Sunrise(main island) and Sunset.
Other names are Seafoam, SOS and Lazy Isle. The guest town in ACNL was called Lazytown.
 
It really depends on how many characters they let us use. I really like Honor Bay or Mango Hill or Coconut Cove.
 
My island name

I will probably name my island Slippery Rock.

It's the name of a location my family and I would camp at when I was younger.
 
Well, when I was 5 and got the GameCube game I named the town "Sadie" because I didn't know how to spell "city" now this one's an island/beach so "bech" might be funny ��

I don't speak French so I have no idea what these mean but Fontainebleau sounds sick, if that was too many characters Ch?lons sounds super cool too

Thanks very much for helping me decide! I like Ch?lons a lot, as it is named after a French town where champagne is produced (It's complete name is actually Ch?lons-en-Champagne but it's too long lol). Most of these don't mean anything, just the ones named after saints mean something. I wanted to name it Saint-Paul, but I don't want people to confuse it with Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA. Also, Fontainebleau means the blue water fountain or something similar. Almost all of these are real towns in France, except for La Fourche, which is a station in the Parisian Subway.
