Will you be using your real name or a different name?

[Soot Sprite]

I didn't use my name for NL, but I probably will for New Horizions. I go by my middle name, which I like much more than my first name so I don't have a problem with using it for a video game. When I was a kid before I changed my name I never played a game with my actual name.

 

[KazooSquirrel]

I'll probably be Platy or Platypi.

 

[skogkyst]

I always use my real name! When I play, I usually see the character as a representation of myself, so it helps keeping the name consistent.

 

[thegunpowderincident]

I will use my real name. In the past I've always had to shorten it to 'Cat,' but I'm hoping this time we will have enough characters for my full name, Catherine, since I don't actually go by any nicknames IRL.

 

[HopeForHyrule]

I never use my real name. Not planning to start with New Horizons.

 

[Mairmalade]

I've always used my alias for every simulation/RPG game - 'Mar.' ACNH won't be different.

 

[Jas]

i have always used my real name (Jas!) for Animal Crossing because the game feels a lot more personal for me that way! i'll probably continue with that!

 

[Lime_]

I actually never used my real name. My character is always named Lime haha. I actually just came up with it when I started WW and decided to keep it for the rest of the games, it's quite cute in NL because when somebody says your name it is shown in green (lime, green, get it? lol)

 

[Fey]

I’ll go with my nickname (same as my username here) for my main character. I see it as an ingame version of myself, so that just feels right to me.

 

[Loreley]

I've gone by 'Elise' in NL, a name that I really like, but I'll choose a new name in New Horizons. I've never used my real name. For NH, I'm probably going to use a nickname only one of my friends calls me every now and then, so it doesn't feel quite like using my real name.

 

[Zen]

I always use my name. Though I am planning to have 2 islands, so maybe I'll pick something nice for the other character.

 

[carackobama]

I always use my real name!

 

[ChibiCutlet]

I never use my real name.

 

[iExist]

I'll probably use Amelia/Millie (Millie is my real life nickname, Amelia is my birth name). I'll make some other profiles so I can have some more characters to liven up my island (namely Sayo, Lisa, Yukina, and Rinko. BanG Dream characters).

You'll need 2 Nintendo Switches, Zen.

Yep. Got my switch here with the game preloaded. and the AC switch with game coming in.

 

[Zirken Achiroda]

I will most certainly use my "internet name" Zirken. I've been using it for slightly over 12 years and i don't remember how I decided on it back then. Perhaps I will use my real name (Max) if I sometime down the line need another house to decorate accordingly ;P.

 

[kappnfangirl]

My nickname, I always use my own name in animal crossing, makes it feel a little bit more real.

 

[Elissarosalee]

Im going to use my real name Ellisa but im gonna spell it different so probably Elissa or Elysia

 

[DenzDejz]

Going with my real name (Dennis) because I like reading my own name on the screen over and over again (i know im weird)

 

[Yeatu]

I'll probably use my real name, the times when I was particularly active online, thus preferred to use my nickname are long gone. :')
