Mine's named Springpond. Frogs have always been my favorite animals. I shared my GC, Wild World, and City Folk towns, but I had my own personal New Leaf town which I originally called Frogtown because I liked frogs. I wanted something a little more "froggy" than Frogtown, so I thought about bodies of water. Well, pond works! Spring works too ig, but that was more because I am Floridian and there's a bunch of springs here. My character's name is Froggy to match : )
My island is named "Hage" and I literally just took that from Black Clover. I was struggling to come up with a decent name as March 20th was approaching. I don't think I've ever reused a town name, but I did use the same inspiration for three towns in a row lol
Komorebi- which translates to 'sunlight filtering through the trees', I thought it was really pretty and in a slightly cheesy way animal crossing is like my sunlight in these scary times.
Le Cœur, which means "the heart" in French. I had it as my second NL town name, because I like puns... y'know, because it's like a second home to me, and "home is where the heart is".
But the fact that my island has a heart-shaped pond is purely coincidence. I promise you that.
My native fruit is cherries, so initially I wanted to name it Isla Cerise, 'cerise' being the French word for cherries. That was a little too long, so I changed it to Isla Cerys instead!
I named my island Boketto. It means 'to look away into the distance' or 'to daydream longingly' in Japanese. I thought it really rolled off the tongue and I really loved the meaning, also I wanted a Japanese name so I decided to go with Boketto.
my island's name (ilmenskie) comes from an old and long-dead browser MMO called glitch! glitch was a lot like animal crossing in many ways, especially the incremental progress and peaceful play, and when it shut down the same year that NL came out, i immediately named my town after my favorite location (may soup) in it. with NH i've decided to make a tradition of honoring this game that i loved dearly!
in the game, the ilmenskie deeps & ilmenskie caverns were actually. you know. underground. but they were some of my favorite places in-game, and the name just sounds nice to me ☺
Blue Sands
Blue is my fav colour, I wanted a beachy sounding name and it fits perfectly within the character limit.
It was between that and Seafoam, but I let my partner have that for his town.
I almost named my island Pickles ;u; Because that was my NL town named, named after my cat, Pickles uwu. For NH I ended up settling for Thornhill which I picked based off a band that I like, and it also had kind of a nature vibe to it so I would've been fine naming my island Pickles again though, haha
Mine's named Kawa Falls. When I first started the game, I realized I had absolutely no town name in mind! I liked the fact that there was waterfalls now, so I thought, River Falls. It sounded very bland and I didn't like it, so I ended up with Kawa (川) because it means river in Japanese. Sounds kinda nature-like anyways! That kanji ended up being apart of the flag.
I chose Driftwood because I wanted a name more based around the island aspect than the theme aspect in case I wanted to change my theme later or just not have an overall theme. I'm normally awful at naming but I really love Driftwood.
