What's your town name and why?

[Mayor Henk]

Vanitas, It's latin for emptyness. Like, starting something new out of nothingness.
Also love it as an Art theme.

Sunshine Im a happy person and would love to spread the sunshine xD haha. Used to be Anthea because it sounds pretty!

Dufftown! I wanted to name it hogsmeade but that wouldn't fit. Dufftown is a city that is mentioned in Harry Potter probably only once. Sirus Black was spotted there... so um yeah, odd Harry Potter reference I don't even think the Harry Potter fans that visit my town get before they hear my town tune (which is Hedwig's theme).

My town's name is Mu! It's named after a mythical island of legend!

 

[sheepie]

Rivendell: i'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and i thought since i'm making a fairy-like town, it would fit. <:
Larkspur: i like drawing these flowers a lot and it suits my nature-themed town.
Hyde: my cycle town is halloween-themed :3

 

[Hirosuka]

Serenity, which means peaceful/calmed/untroubled..which describes my town and how I expected it to turn out

Mine is Virmire, named after the planet from Mass Effect where terrible things happen for your squad. My first town, before I lost the cart, was Horizon, named after the Mass Effect 2 planet where sad stuff happens, haha. I'm debating getting another cart for cycling and naming it after a place from the Dragon Age series (which I haven't decided yet). If you can't tell, I love Bioware games. ^^

My town name is Nara, because it's my absolute favourite place in Japan. It's so beautiful and filled with wild deer who taught themselves to bow to you if they want food. My deer villagers are always asking me to get them fruit, so I guess it worked out!

 

[toadsworthy]

Doldrums for the book The Phantom Tollbooth and Haven for Dragon Age (making a reference without reference, basically)

I LOVE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH!

 

[Sorgatani]

My town names aren't as well thought out.
I have Lancre, which is the name of a tiny mountaintop kingdom in the Ramtops mountain range in DiscWorld.
I also have RainDrop, chosen because it had eight letters and the name sounded good to me. The theme song is as close to 'The Rainbow Connection' as I can get.

My cycling town is called Acacia, a latin name for Wattle, the floral emblem of Australia.

[bloxrocks]

golem becuase when i first played it like everyone else here i thoght it was stupid i played it on a firends cartidge with the name gothom when i finaly got ac new leaf i rememerd it wrong and golem became my town name

 

[Ceewah]

I named mine Mistview because it sounds so pretty and relaxing. To me, the feel of that name describes Animal Crossing.

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

I have Arryire which means fall, and it's the only town with that name in ACNL, as far as dream addresses go at least, which I LOVE! Makes it way easier to find! And my second town is Salem cause I was going to do a "Hocus Pocus" loosely based town, but since I started it I've moved onto an OTGW theme so I kind of regret my name choice and I like my town too much to reset.

 

[offing]

Hogwarts
Cliche, I know.
Hogwarts has always had a special place in my heart, so why not

 

[Elephantmarshmallow]

[animaclrossing]

My town name is Palette, I had no ideas so I just got it from chugga.

My town is named Olvine.

Before playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf (my first AC game), I played a lot of pokemon. One of the towns in Pokemon SoulSilver is called Olivine city. I misremembered the name, though, so instead of Olivine it became Olvine. I'm okay with this, though, as it makes the name more original.

I like the name because it reminds me of the colour green and nature. Olivine is a green gem and it (kinda) has the words olive and vine in it, which are both green. I feel like this really matches my natural and green town, so I'm quite pleased with my impulsive name choice.

If I had known the town name was gonna play quite a large role in my AC experience, it probably would've taken me ages to come up with a name I could live with. Now I have a name I love.
