What’s the story behind your town name?

[Katzenjammer]

New Leaf Town: Lorville (from my name)
New Horizons Island: Nyan (which is Japanese for a meow sound, as I plan on populating my island with only cat villagers)

 

[Admiral Sven]

NL: Roverton: I was too lazy to think up a name. So I just used Rover's name (as he was the character I could see) and the traditional –ton suffix.
WW: Kelvin: Going to change it to a Scandinavia-style name as I reset my game (that's how I'd run my town; a Scandinavian social democratic place). Any suggestions please throw them at me!

 

[Beanz]

My new leaf town’s name is Beanz. It’s part of a username I have on most games I play.
My new new horizons island’s name is Sunflower because I like sunflowers.

 

[Kirbyz]

my NL town is called Magnolia, and my brother’s town is called Fiore.

it’s a reference to my fav anime, Fairy Tail <3

since my brother also loves it, and he got his town first, he named in Fiore. then when i got mine, i already knew i was going to name it Magnolia. c:

My island is named Woxton as a tribute to my son. My nickname for my husband is Wolf, his nickname for me is Fox, and our son is nicknamed Wox (naturally). So, Woxton was born from nicknames.

My town's name is Zen. I wanted a town where I can put my personality into. I'm calm and I like to be in a meditative state where I empty my mind and just enjoy my surroundings. I'm sorta like an old man and don't bond well with my peers that are party animals but I like the way I am. Zen is a form of meditation that's why it was considered. There are also other arts of meditation but I chose Zen because I like Japanese culture and practices and AC also uses aspects of Zen

I simply named my New Leaf town "Finale" because I have reset many times in ACNL and I think I'm gonna have this be the last town I actually put time into playing every day and making just the way I want it
(And not a moment too soon, apparently, considering 3DS support seems to be winding down...)

My New Horizons island is named Shamrock because I am of Irish descent and also because I sat there for like 10 whole minutes unable to think of an interesting name

 

[Ganucci]

I can tell you when I was little and got AC for the Gamecube I did not even hesitate for a second when Rover asked me the town name and I typed in 'Poop'.

Unfortunately(?) I did not carry that name over into future games.

NL town is named Myrkwood just because it sounded cool and fit the forest theme, plus I'm going for a sort of autumnal, magic-y vibe.

NH island is named Wynd Isle because I wanted to include 'isle' in the name and it sounded generic enough that I could do whatever I wanted with it, and it kept up the theme of using 'y' instead of 'i'.

 

[Chibiusa]

My island name is Sanibel, after Sanibel Island in Florida. I wanted to pay homage to my home state since I moved from there a couple of years ago.

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

It's very stupid but my first game was Wild World and when it ask 'Where are you going?' I didn't know it was going to become your town name so I said 'a place'. So yeah, my first town ever was called a place, in lower case letters. Though I wouldn't choose that now I think its kind of a charming and at least a cute story.

My island is named after the removable convertible top known as The Boptop- originally used on the 1930-31 and 1932 Ford Roadsters. I thought I came up with it myself, but I looked it up afterward and realized it was coined long before my time. lol

 

[Dudy Dude]

Originally I named my island “Sadness” because, well, I couldn’t think of anything else, and sadness is what I feel most days.

A day later, I deleted my island and started anew, naming my island Inverness after the Scottish town of the same name. I’ve always adored Scotland and its green rolling hills and lakes, and I know someone from the real-world Inverness who I consider to be a close friend. Besides, even regardless of context, I think Inverness is a pretty name for a place.

 

[Cosmic_Crossfade]

My town's name is Comet Tail. I have a fascination with space and anything to do with it. Stars, planets and science fiction (and fiction) as a whole is something I throughly enjoy and plan on making my town space themed for the most part!

 

[mimiamei]

my towns name is amoureux and honestly i wanted to name it island of the stars in spanish but it was too long >< so my town name is just lovers in french

 

[angelcat621]

My NH island is Pookytopia, named for my beloved old white cat Pooky + utopia. He passed away earlier this year after 14 years of friendship. I have a mossy rock and lucky cat statue near my NH house in his memory.

 

[ReeBear]

My island is called Gont. I was considering Earthsea but apparently I felt the need to go more obscure and name my island after the Wizard of Earthsea's homeland ~

 

[StressedJess]

I posted here for acnl before NH came out, but my New Horizons town’s named Pingüino, I named it such because my brother had his town first because he named his Tortüga (upon my joking suggestion), and I decided to keep up the trend on my island

 

[Nosfurratu]

My town name is Junipine. It’s the name of a hotel I stayed at in Sedona Arizona and it just always stuck with me. Cute, woodsy, and good memories~

My New Leaf town's name, Azalea, was just something that popped into my head and felt right, so I went with it. As for my island, I originally was going to just name it Honey or Honeycomb but I decided since my native fruit was the apple Honeycrisp would be more fitting.
