What’s the story behind your town name?

[Alessio]

It's called "A Casa", that means "At Home", cause when i played Wild World as a kid Kapp'n in his taxi told me where i wanted to go and i said that, so I started using it in my later towns.

My island name is Agasha.
I want a Saint Seiya-themed island so after another ideas (as Sanctuary, Andromeda...) I decided to pick this one up. I love the sound, so smooth and sweet! I suppose most of you dont know who's Agasha so I'll quickly explain: in The Lost Canvas (a excellent version of the serie in my opinion), Agasha was a villager knowing the Pisces Saint, Albafica. She's not a major character and you forget her easily but she's cute and has a lovely name so!

And a bit more original than just calling my island Sanctuary.

In New Leaf, my town name is Genovia, after a fictional country of the same name from The Princess Diaries.

In New Horizons, my island name is Sanditon, after the unfinished book of a same name by Jane Austen (and a TV show)

My current island is called Zabba Doo. It's pretty silly but I like to scat so it's all I could come up with the night I downloaded the game. In the past I chose things like Hyrule or 'Cool Town' because I'm not so creative with the names. But if it makes me laugh then I'm okay with it.

I’ve been naming all of my recent towns “Bluebell”, based off of the town with the same name in Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns! It’s definitely not the best HM/SoS game, but I’m pretty sure it’s the first one I played, so it’s pretty special to me!

 

[AC.Newbie]

I'm a history buff so I named my island after the period in time that fascinates me most: Salem

 

[xhyloh]

in new leaf my last town was named roswell because i love aliens! and my current island in new horizons is named tamago after the sanrio character gudetama!

 

[5pmtheme]

my wild world, city folk, and new leaf towns were all called 'fawkes' - i don't know why i called it that or where i got the name from, but it was useful back then because it fit within the letter limit! i decided for NH that 'fawkes isle' didn't really sound right, so i decided on rosemary. i really like names related to nature and it fit the theme of my island!

NL - Centuria -- Just making up words that sounded cool to me, lol. But, just like every other good made up word, it's a real word and I was amused that it is a SUPER tiny town somewhere with a population under 1k.

NH - Mimosa Bay -- I had the idea to make the flag a mimosa plant ( a plant that closes its leaves and ' shys ' away when touched, I love it ), but I can't draw, so I ended up not doing that, but the name still sounds tropical and refreshing. My friend ended up stealing the Bay part when she restarted, and since she already copied like 6 of my dreamies to boot, I restarted and now it's Mimosa Key. I don't like it as much, but I still love the first half, so it's fine enough, I guess.

My town is named after my story, I decided to make my island look like it. Then pick different villagers to represent my characters. It took a long time choosing characters, but its coming along

 

[nordskjev]

My ACNL town is named Lavender because of Lavender Town from Pokemon which I liked the most in the Kanto region lol
My ACNH island is named Hokkaido because there was an anime character who was from Hokkaido island and that was anime from my childhood (probably my first anime but who knows lol)

 

[.: Meri :.]

My town is named Moonfall, because I got New Leaf as a gift and didn't plan ahead on a town name ahaha. I was stuck for a while trying to come up with something on the spot and finally decided on having "Moon" somewhere in the name. If I remember correctly, I think I thought about naming it "Moonfalls" because of the town waterfall, but that was one too many characters. So I finally settled on Moonfall, as I thought it sounded pretty on its own and reminded me of the word "moonset".

 

[maaango]

Mine is Midori. I was just searching for names and I stumbled across it. Then I searched the meaning of it in Japanese and it means "green" so I think it suits it perfectly.

 

[Damn71]

mine is bruh, literally cant think of any names and at the time that was like the last word i said lol

 

[GuerreraD]

It was my first AC game, and it was set on default, so... I just went with it Don't regret it actually, it sounds nice enough on its own.

 

[Croconaw]

My town’s name is Arizona. I like the desert and hot climates.

 

[Coach]

Mushroom (GC and WW) - I liked the idea of mario themed towns! My characters on WW were also called luigi and daisy, funnily enough.

Candyway (CF) - I knew I wanted to create a candy themed racecourse from the start, so the name was fitting!

Twinleaf (NL) - Leaf in the name like the actual game, also from pokemon diamond and pearl which is nostalgic for me.

Hanamura - Cool overwatch map, and character from danganronpa (teruteru)

 

[Stikki]

A silly joke/reference to something. I thoroughly regret it now cos it means I can't ever tell it haha

 

[Alyx]

Several months before New Horizons came out, I was set on what I wanted my island name to be: Delta. It's partly based on the airline by the same name. I'm not sure how much of a story there is to how I decided on the name, I just thought it sounded like a cool island name.

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

Named my current NL town Puffle.
for obvious reasons... i love club penguin. also goes well with the theme.
