What’s the story behind your town name?

- Start date
i asked a bunch of my friends for help and the first people who replied said "jethropolis" because my SO is named jethro but i asked another friend and she suggested PAL because it was an acronym for an airline company here (because jethro > jets > planes) and i liked it because the journey to that conclusion made me think of gradeschoolers making codenames for their crushes and it was cute!! also because pal means friend and i want to live in friend town <3
I wanted my town name to be 'Fae'-something, because one of the main things I wanted to add was a fantasy forest area with a fairy ring. Otherwise, I still wanted it to sound like a cute little town, and thus the 'hill' suffix was added. I've come up with one or two ideas I might just like a smidgen better since then... but I think I'm happy enough with Faehill. ^^
After a friend showed me Animal Crossing for the first time and it was clear I would also get it, he asked me what I would name my town. He also told me that he named his town after the one he grew up in, after I asked him. I thought it was boring to name it after the town we currently lived in, so I had to come up with another name. Because we were at school at that time, I took the nearest atlas and looked for a name I liked. That's how I ended up with my town name: Zeist.
I came up with my town name, Oceana, a few months before the release of New Leaf. I was trying to think up all sorts of town names, but as soon as I thought of it, it just hit me. So that's why I've been very fond of it for awhile now. No other town name seems to appeal to me very well like Oceana did. Maybe one day I'll think of another.
Lol, I like your town name

I've had three towns whose names I really remembered:
Starfall- I chose it because I had been reading A Song of Ice and Fire and one of the noble families lives in a castle called Starfall and I thought it sounded pretty and whimsical. I reused this name a lot when I first started out and restarted all the time.
Ebonmoor- I chose this one because "ebon" means black and you always read about lonely/spooky moors in gothic literature. Ebonmoor was meant to be my horror themed town with all black villagers.
Mistwood- I wanted something natural but still a little mysterious. Something cute, but just a tad dark. I'm really happy with it.
I once considered doing an all-deer town called Nara (it would have been a zen-themed town named after the Nara Deer Park in Japan), but I never followed through.
I think when I start my switch town, I might go back to my tried and true Starfall tho.

I'm totally embarrassed to admit but my town in NL was named back when NL came out, and at the time I was dating someone who had a sort of alter ego with the last name 'Lunalis' and that's what I named my town after...yeah. That relationship ended around the same time too.
Wild World was my first Animal Crossing game.
When I began playing, I felt a strong desire to name my town "______ Springs" (I think it was Waterfall Springs or something to do with the ocean), but it obviously didn't fit. I decided to just call the town Springs, and it stuck with me for City Folk, GCN, and New Leaf.

I was new to the series and knew nothing about it.
It was Christmas in 2013 I was unwrapping my presents and there was "animal crossing new leaf" I name my town "animal" becouse that was in the game's name.

Arize from Azulon
I wanted a name based on Avatar The Last Airbender that wasn't so common like Kyoshi, etc. So I chose Azulon, and the mayor name (Arize) is my usual game character name and it really sounds like a name from the Fire Nation. So it just went together. Then I chose Bolero of Fire as my town tune to link it all to Zelda as well while keeping the theme of Fire Nation.

My towns named ?Andoria? after the Star Trek planet.
I was super into Flight Rising when I first got NL, so I named my town after my favorite dragon at the time, a pretty coatl boy named Auroral. Ironically, I no longer play FR, so I associate the name 'Auroral' far more with animal crossing than i do with dragons.
My second NL town, Dreamy, is meant to be a sleepy town based off of... sleep lmao. I was inspired to make a town with this theme because I suffer from a sleep disorder called non-24 sleep wake disorder, and to cope with the days where I'm awake during the nights rather than the days, I play a lot of animal crossing. So I wanted to make a little project town specially to use to cope on those nights. I was going to try to name it after my sleep disorder, but realized that the name just. Doesn't really flow off the tongue and I couldn't figure out a way to shorten it / make it work lmao. So I just went with Dreamy because it's uwu cute.
Going back, my very first GC town is called AMYVILLE (yes, in all caps like that) because. I was a dumb kid with 0 ideas, and my name is Amy, so naturally I named my town after myself lmao.
A couple of friends and I are now playing a second GC town together, that we've named GAYVILLE, (also in all caps) referencing my first town and the fact that we're all raging pansexuals.
I also had two CF towns, one at my dad's house and one at my mom's house. Neither of these names are very creative at all, and are just named after places in fandoms I was obsessed with at the time. The town at my dad's house is Hyrule, while the town at my mom's house is Hogwarts.

My town name Willow comes from the name of a personal, fictional place I've created. It's the home of some original characters and stuff. The name of the fictional place is actually Willowfield but that was too long to be a town name in New Leaf so I shortened it to Willow instead. I think it has a nice vibe to it, and feels personal in the way that it has something to do with a personal creation.
I named my town Twinleaf because I was playing pokemon Diamond around the time the game released (either that or watching the D/P anime) and thought it'd be cool to have a town with the word leaf in it to fit with the title of the game itself. I stick by my decision!

No Rain. No Flowers!
I waned to have a theme for my town and decided on a colour (pink) So I thought of things that remind me of that colour. Then I came across Sakura Trees. I find them so beautiful and mystical so I called my town Sakura and my mayor Blossom. Altogether it was 'Sakura Blossom'
So Doremifa comes from a vocaloid song, DoReMiFa Rondo, which is basically about running around singing and dancing with animals. I was really into Vocaloid at the time so I thought "hey, this seems good for an Animal Crossing town!"
My flag is still based off of the song, (which I still really like, thankfully), and so is a face standee thing, (which I REALLY need to make a new design for because the old one is just... Not good.) I also tried to use a bit of it for the town tune, but it sounds nothing like it. (Thinking about requesting it on that wonderful thread in NL)
(I also finished off the music theme by naming my Tomodachi Life island Solatido)
My second is Inkoplis, because the whole town is based off of Splatoon, which is set in Inkopolis, and I was one letter short of being able to fit the whole name.
