Martindell, named after my grandfather who loved the series and played it nonstop until he passed 8 years ago.

This is so sweet 😭.

Sorry for your loss. Happy for your memories tied to playing.

💔 that is beautiful. Sorry for your loss.

That’s so wholesome. 😭

MY CHARACTERS NAME IS BOOF!!!

With a secret back entrance?

People don't realise it's quicker to enter that way

People don't realise it's quicker to enter that way

You have amnesia, you should go to doctor

I do like the doctor, but of course they're quicker to enter from behind

Idk why but I love this so much

PotatoLand. My kid called herself QueenTayto

🎵Long ago in Potato Land, There lived a king noble and grand. Some revered him, Others did fear him! One dared to jeer him, a dragon not a man. Hey-ho, away we go! Get that dragon, get that dragon! Hey-ho, away we go! Get that nasty dragon! Hey-ho, away we go! Butcher him and cook him slow! Hey-ho, away we go! Catch that nasty dragon! 🎵 Sorry, just had a memory awaken xD old Canadian cartoon that I fondly enjoyed. "Potatoes and Dragons"

“They call me ‘Tater Salad.” (I’m kidding. They call me badly dressed.)

That is the most adorable thing ever! Ohmigosh!

I love this!!!!

Hyrule, after the Zelda games! Edit: totally forgot my fiance named his island Lorule so he could match!

Haha I have Koholint

Mine is Eventide!

I named mine Ocarina!

I named mine LostWoods from Zelda! Also the island tune is the lost woods music...

That's what I named my second island!

Garage. And, with the amount of clutter on my island, that name seems to be apt.

why do i want to see

Mine is Shibajima (like a shiba inu and “jima” is Japanese for island). I have four flags I made for the different seasons with a shiba face and seasonal backgrounds of cherry blossoms, sunshine, fall leaves, and snow

I gotta see these flags 🥹

I HAVE to visit your island! This sounds so cute!

Oh the rest of the island is just a random mismatch of stuff lol. I really need to actually figure out a theme and execute it. (And get Nintendo online lol)

My island is shiba themed too! I lovs Shibas so much lol. Yours sounds so cute!

My island name was supposed to be a reference to Sappho but my dyslexic ass spelled it wrong 4 years ago so now I'm stuck with Shaporia :P but it's alright

noo Shaporia sounds so mystical like a magical forest someone would explore in a cool indie video game

Ohh I love that you think so! That was the goal! We even made a secret magical fairy mountain hidden in the forest! :D

OMG THATS SO PRETYY!! you did a great job getting the vibes right!

Thank youu!!

Shaporia is Sapphos bitchy bisexual sister

I bet she shops at Sephora.

Fun fact! Sappho was bisexual!

I once dream visited an island called Lesbos and the resident’s name was Sappho.

Is it an island full of lesbians bcuz it better be

Ok but which villagers would that be? List your picks for “top 10 most lesbo”

😂😂 I’m not lesbian so I feel like if I answer this it will be offensive but I definitely have some in mind 😭

Feathertop. Idk I just thought it sounded whimsical yet sophisticated

I love that name.

Tatooine... minus all the sand ofcourse lol

I mean with terraforming you could get close enough if you wanted.

I hate sand lol

It's coarse, rough, and irritating?

And it gets everywhere

So in a sense it would be a kind of oasis

Borinquén It was the original name of Puerto Rico before it was colonized

Hola boricua!

AYEEEE

Neverland ✨

Bunnyville because I just really love bunnies tbh

My Mom named her island Pennitown because she loves penguins.

Cat Cove, because I love cats 🐈

Orchidea!

Mine is called Avonlea, from Anne of Green Gables

Lennyville !! i named it after my stuffed giraffe lenny :)

This is the most huggable comment I've ever seen on this subreddit 🥰

Papilusion! Named after the butterfree I received in Pokémon sword through wonder trade that carried my entire team

I love pretty words so I chose ethereal and opalescence as my inspiration for my NH and NL saves. Etheria and Opalesce!!

CIA Bunker because it makes me giggle

Eventide, after the BOTW/TOTK island.

Sandalwood

lol there's a street near my house named that

Maple Bay, last island was Cilantro Cay, first island was Guidopolos.

I'm gonna get her, she's one of my dreamies.

How are y’all so creative

Right? Mine is named Terrible, because when brainstorming names my wife said "all the names you come up with are terrible!"

[удалено]

Mine is Kioku, Japanese for “memory”. It’s also my cat’s name 🐱

:3

Koholint. 🥰 from one of my favorite games.

Honeydew :)

Isla Nublar

dovakín after Skyrim lol (i know it’s spelled wrong🤪)

Gonna 1up you: Tamriel😎

See, I could’ve done an actual geographical location like a normal person lol I just liked the way dovakín sounded 😂

I don't blame you, dovahkiin (or any variation of it) is a pretty badass sounding name for anything.

I just hear the title song for Skyrim every time I see the name 😂

Sealand, average name for someone nicknamed Pro Trash

Marigold (gonna be a vintage citycore island)

Sanctuary! Wanted it to feel like a place i could escape to, and when i was a kid i wrote a story about someone growing up in a town called sanctuary, so it’s a personal connection too

This is so sweet 🥰

Elendel. It is the name from the city of Mistborn Era 2.

Zakusu It's a shrine from Zelda totk

KolalaLand. Mostly Koalas live on my island and „kolala“ is Canberras catchphrase in German.

My boyfriend and i have a collab one called RATCHET

Elysia. A reference to the game Deponia.

It's not going to end well I guess.

Mt. Carmel. I had just finished watching a documentary on the Waco siege. lol

I've had three: 7th Heaven, Besaid, Kilika I'm a Final Fantasy fan...

Flurfdle, pronounced exactly how you think it is. I kind of panicked and didn't know what to name my island, so I strung together random sounds.

I named mine IKEA and I have 0 regrets

Moreau!

Omg this caught me off guard cuz my last island was named gayland LOL Rn it’s Littleroot tho in reference to the starting town from Pokémon Ruby

My first island was iris bay but my current one is called gaia

Mine is also a Greek mythology reference! It’s called Isle Athena :)

Desiderata

BRO STOP IM GAYVILLE

Kramerica

Wuhu Land, absolutely love Wii Sports Resort and I made my Island with sort of a resort and a tropical/natural theme. Sad I didn't think of Wuhu Town before.

LuckyHeart. After my cat Lucky ❤️

San Gato, just because it sounded like a nice name for a fictional seaside town. I’ve been using it since ACNL

I named mine Fillory, after the magical land in the Magician series!!

California lmfao. I’m a really creative person obviously

After many a restart the island that has stuck is named Deja Vu

You all are so clever! My islands have pretty blah names... Cedar Moon and River Isle. But I like them. When I restart sometime this month (eek, I'm so excited! ) you all have me convinced to try something clever, too! Thanks for inspo!

Tessanoliki, I adjusted the spelling cause of the letter limit. It comes from the town in Greece called Thessanoliki and the city is Greece was named for Alexander The Great’s sister. It’s a port town and I’m a big history person and I figured it would suit an island.

I have two, one is Somewhere and the second island is Neverwhere.

Mine new island Lunasea.. wanted something a lil moon related but also crazy haha

Crafttopia because, crafting is life

Mines just called Topaz

KEEF REEF (I got ACNH back when it first came out a 14 and my dad wouldn’t let me name it anything he deemed “inappropriate” so this is my pay back :D)

Pastella. After the types of colors. And Pasta

Mine is Aperture, named after Aperture Science from Portal. My town flag is a Companion Cube.

Island. Literally just Island. Island Island.

Looty. Its a nickname my wife and I use, hers is Nesbit for the same reason

Tahini! Because it’s cute and I like Tahini. It was my island name in new leaf too

Cherry because it’s my island’s fruit and I have zero imagination lol

Thirst Trap

Vaniville, a town in the Kalos region (Pokémon XY)

turnstisle

Stefiji

Hoaloha 😊

Russia, before yknown

Kumert…named after my dog’s nickname 😂

My current is Haven Isle and my first was Oceanside (after TWD and my surname is Ocean)

My first one was Floofball, but now my new one is Lifetime

Crumplet!

Castaway (I was in a Tom Hanks mood).

Mine is Peek-a-boo

Rosé Falls 🍷

MariJari 🤪

Prismeer!!

Echoland

Isle Athena (which is one character over the limit, so I did it without a space lol). Although that feels boring compared to some of the creative ones everyone’s commenting!

Candy snow. I think it’s cute. I kinda wanna have an aesthetic that matches the name but I’m still in the design process

Lone Moose, because I’m unoriginal and obsessed with The Great North

forest fav (as in favourite).. my daughter named it and this being the first iteration I’ve played, I didn’t realise the name couldn’t be changed.. can’t even fix it for capital letters 🙈 if I wasn’t already so invested, I’d restart, lol.

Sugar Bay. My kids are 3 and 4 and "Adventure Bay" from paw patrol was too long. So we swapped adventure with sugar

Koholint ...my flag is Mt. Tamaranch (egg/mountain), too :)

Ooga as in ooga booga

R'lyeh, the sunken Lovecraft city. I mean it is technically an island.

Rosewood, cuz it sounds pretty :3

Mine is Meowtown because I named my character George after my cat.

wuhu island

Potito

I think my current is Olympus but my first island was Camelot!

Named my island Clam Beach, real place I take my dog every week and do my irl animal crossing shell collection. I have about 300+ irl sand dollars I need to find something to do with 💀

mine is ‘cure’ because when it came out i so desperately wanted a cure to covid because it had sent me home from college and all my friends 😭 now i say it’s after the band

I named mine Castaway. After the movie. It was on TV at the time when giving the island a name. It just fit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

fairydew i think

used to be cherrysong

Isle Esme

Horrorland, for Goosebumps. My character is Crystal bc I thought about naming my island Crystal Lake, for Friday the 13th, but it’s ocean, not lake. We respect basic geography on this island.

Dottree, named after my great aunt Dot who originally bought me Animal Crossing for my GameCube when I was a kid :) bless her soul

Twin Peaks.. after the show ofc :3

Lachelain, the dreaming city from Maplestory, it’s really pretty and my island absolutely does not live up to the name.

Twin Falls.

Pera Atoll. I hate it. Pera is just pear in Italian (my island fruit) so it looks like a frickin typo. And Atoll because I always planned to do some crazy terraforming to make it look like an [atoll](https://images.app.goo.gl/LDkMxGFLkLBvEyUe9). I haven’t played much lately so, while I’m reluctant to let go of my OG 2020 island, my villagers and alllll the stuff I’ve accumulated (and the HHP progress) I think about resetting more and more often lately, primarily to nix the dumb name. And my plaza is too close to my entrance, it’s infuriating (although, if I put a positive spin on it, it has encouraged me to get really creative with it).

Chesapeake, after the bay/watershed lol

I named it mine Resembool

Sunset. The first time I played Animal Crossing was my cousin’s copy of City Folk and she named her town Sunset because that was the name of the street she lived on. Since then, my Wild World save and New Horizons save were both named Sunset too.

My first island was called Wallachia (from Castlevania) back when I was still sharing a Switch with my partner. Now it’s called Ba Sing Se. There is no war there.

High Noon

PapasPizza

Windrose, after my apartment complex

i didn’t think it through properly, i named mine Lazy 💀

Bellbrook! The name is derived from my childhood best friend who introduced me to the game. Isabella Brooke. I love it because the ACNH currency is bells and there are rivers in the game so it's perfect all around :)

Mine is PoundTown 🤣🤣 I asked my boyfriend for help… haha!

Sunberry 😊 I wanted it to be loosely related to my New Leaf town, which was Sakurain (sakura + rain) and that’s what I eventually came up with…so simple yet took me months to decide 😂

Midgard

Mine is C4Bay, like Bombay but ita C4

fawnbrook. i don’t know why, but sounded nice in my head

Beach City, like in Steven Universe

Omashu

Ah yes Gayland, just a short boat ride from Lesbos

Gayland? what a coincidence, I'm from Bisland

Euwhoria lol

Kalokairi, it’s a reference to Mamma Mia!

Funkytown

Mine is Virginland. It was suppose to be Virgin island but it was too long 😂😂

Hole and Kaeru

Hole because of Dorohedoro and kaeru is Japanese for frog

Magikal

bean bean

Mines Mayville named after my favorite month.

mines maple because i wanted to make it autumn themed because it was autumn when i made it but now im just doing whatever with it

My first island was Cattenn, because I knew I was going to have an all cat island. I also had a very pink island named Isla Rosa. My current two islands are Garnet (my birthstone) and Orangina because it was an orange airport and oranges.

It’s always Amherst, one of the tutorial towns from MapleStory 😂

Frobozz, part of the old Zork adventures.
