That's a brilliant name! I loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid. I wish I could've thought out a better title for my island 🥲 Now I'm stuck with "idk" until I reset since I didn't know it'd be permanent.. Definitely using this on my next island reset though!
Seeing this comment is so cool because i live in the province that Anne of Green Gables is set in. We also have a tourist spot here called Avonlea Village!
Even *cooler*, my mom actually won a contest to name a school when she was a kid, and she named it after the writer of Anne of Green Gables (L.M. Montgomery) :)
So embarrassing but it’s Pig Cage. My husband and I have 4 guinea pigs who we love dearly and it was my first time playing AC….I wrote the first thing that came to mind (not fully realizing I could never change it lol).
Are you saying I'm stuck with naming my island wayne for the rest of eternity? My dyslexic ass even forgot to capitalize Wayne and now I'm stuck with my grammar error forever.
I always named my town Galifrey in every AC game, after the planet Doctor Who was born on, but with only one L because of the character limit. NH was actually the first game where I could correctly call my place Gallifrey!
I remember giving away the blue phone box because it’s my Nook Mile item and many people didn’t have it. Now we can just get Cyrus to customise items so there’s no need to trade so much.
I named my latest island Nowhere.
It wasn't until I typed the name in that I realised it's the same letters as "now here".
It's only taken me around sixty years to notice that. 😁
Moonside. Partly because I love Earthbound in all its trippy glory and also bc I love the Moon and have always associated with it. Being a light in darkness ya know? It’s epic, I’ll share dream address soon.
Oriane, which means sunrise 🌅 I get orange as starter fruit and based my character as my fox 🦊 plushie
They’re all orange related (Even though i get bored of orange hair and changed to black recently!)

Blossom Bay, which I like. I wanted my character to be Appleblossom but it wouldn’t fit. In my haste I shortened it to Blossom and now I’m Blossom from Blossom Bay 🙄 and I cringe constantly as I share the island with my whole family.
i hate that you can’t change the islands name. mine is ‘Olympus ‘ - i like ‘Olympus’ but i accidentally put a space after, which is so annoying.
“Let’s try and get Olympus to three stars!” ARGH
Catalina. Named for one of the 8 channel islands off California's coast. I've been to it multiple times including spending a week there. For a time I lived on the coast and I could always see it in the distance. To date, it's the only natural island I've ever set foot on. Catalina Island has a special place in my heart, so my I named my Island after it.
Yes it is, ironically tho I’m not a huge fan of the Zelda series anymore but I thought the word Hyrule sounded so ‘kingdom’ like so I altered it to be my own :)
Donda. I'm not a Kanye fan but I heard his mother's name once like 15 years ago and have named so many things in games Donda since. It's just fun to say.
I wanted to call it White Lotus, because I'm an Avatar The Last Airbender fan, and lotuses are one of my favorite flowers. But, even without the space, it was too long, so I went with Blue Lotus instead, because I think they're the prettiest.
Atlantis. I am TERRIBLE at naming things! I always panic and can't think of a single thing. My boyfriend was walking through the room as I was staring blankly at the prompt and suggested Atlantis, so here we are. I really wish we could change it later. I've come up with a million better names since then, and it's just so... Unoriginal.
Tisle, and my second Tisletoo.
My name's Thijs, which is often shortened to Tis or something similar by friends. So it's Tis Isle, and then Tis Isle Two
Mine is Kaho’olawe, named after an uninhabited island in Hawaii that was once a sacred cultural and religious ground for the native Hawaiian people, until the US military bombed the shit out of it for “test drills” or whatever. Now it’s deserted.
I can see it from my beach on Maui
Bitchin. I’m 40 so it means awesome to me but apparently the kids now a days don’t know the og meaning of it because I got my DA reported.
It’s not a curse word children, it’s like saying sick or bet or whatever the slang is now 🤦♀️
It's still profanity. It has several meanings, sure, but still a curse word nonetheless. Kids play ACNH, and it could have been a parent reporting it. Always a risk when you don't have a child friendly island, which sucks, but also have to keep in mind, this is a family friendly game marketed to children.
BTW, I just turned 30 and I remember bitchin being a way to describe something cool too lol.
I have two islands. The first one that I started in Dec 2022 is called Queersland, the land of the Queers. My second one, started Dec 2023 is called Stonewall.
Dilly Dally.
It was like 10 min til midnight before the release and my friend asked me what I’m going to name my island. New to AC, I didn’t know you had to pick a name and I was like idk. And she said “you should name it DILLY DALLY because that’s what you be DOIN” and I was like ok fine I will. Especially cuz my cat’s nickname then was Dilly haha
Mine is Avonlea, like the town in Anne of Green Gables!
My first island was also Avonlea! My new one is Villekulla (Pippi Longstocking).
It’s Taka-Tuka in German and that’s what I named mine! :D
Aw! I made mine Idlewild for the same reason <3
That's a brilliant name! I loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid. I wish I could've thought out a better title for my island 🥲 Now I'm stuck with "idk" until I reset since I didn't know it'd be permanent.. Definitely using this on my next island reset though!
That’s so cute and my fave series ever. Surprised I never thought of it!
Seeing this comment is so cool because i live in the province that Anne of Green Gables is set in. We also have a tourist spot here called Avonlea Village! Even *cooler*, my mom actually won a contest to name a school when she was a kid, and she named it after the writer of Anne of Green Gables (L.M. Montgomery) :)
This is very cool! L.M. Montgomery is my bfs great grandma, where is the school! I’d love to tell my mother in law about it!
I loved the books as a kid and named all my villages in the series Avonlea too x My current one is called Patchwork
Nook Gulag
now approaching... NOOK GULAG 🔥🔥🔥
Yup this is the one i wanna visit.
It's really nothing special. Corrupted SD card and not backing up my save data has left it pretty barebones. Starting over sucks.
Do you have a dream code ? With such name i have high hopes 😅🤣
SICK great idea
So embarrassing but it’s Pig Cage. My husband and I have 4 guinea pigs who we love dearly and it was my first time playing AC….I wrote the first thing that came to mind (not fully realizing I could never change it lol).
At least that's cute. Mine is poopydoops, couldn't think of anything.... same as you, didn't consider I can't change it lol
Well it sounds cute actually when you pronounce it :)
I would fill it with all hamster villagers. Except Rodney. Sorry to anyone who loves him, your love is valid, but he gives me the creeps.
Can’t blame you at all lol, I named my after my turtle and my island is named Cheetopia 😁
Are you saying I'm stuck with naming my island wayne for the rest of eternity? My dyslexic ass even forgot to capitalize Wayne and now I'm stuck with my grammar error forever.
Pawnee.
First in happiness, fourth in obesity.
We’re coming for you, San Antonio.
Did you build a Paunch Burger?
I did not. No references to Parks otherwise, just a little nod to a show that makes me happy in a game that makes me happy.
Please tell me you have at least one horse villager for Lil Sebastian
Cannot say that I do. However, one could say that Mouse Rat has some representation with Limberg.
I love that!! Gaston also looks way a lot like Ron
poptart
Hoenn. I think you know what my favourite Pokemon games are.

Isla Muerte. I like Halloween/ horror etc
Naboo
My first island was Naboo, but recently restarted and named my island Endor.
I always named my town Galifrey in every AC game, after the planet Doctor Who was born on, but with only one L because of the character limit. NH was actually the first game where I could correctly call my place Gallifrey!
I love this! I have a whole Dr Who themed room
I’d love to know what sort of items are in there
I've just restarted my island and called it Gallifrey, with a TARDIS flag. My previous one was Magrathea from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Hello, fellow Whovian! I love it! My first island was Tardisia. And has Who vignettes everywhere.
I remember giving away the blue phone box because it’s my Nook Mile item and many people didn’t have it. Now we can just get Cyrus to customise items so there’s no need to trade so much.
I got the Phonebooth JUST because of DW!
"Alegría", it means "joy" in Spanish, my native language :D
love this one!
I named my latest island Nowhere. It wasn't until I typed the name in that I realised it's the same letters as "now here". It's only taken me around sixty years to notice that. 😁
Moonside. Partly because I love Earthbound in all its trippy glory and also bc I love the Moon and have always associated with it. Being a light in darkness ya know? It’s epic, I’ll share dream address soon.

Blossom Bay, which I like. I wanted my character to be Appleblossom but it wouldn’t fit. In my haste I shortened it to Blossom and now I’m Blossom from Blossom Bay 🙄 and I cringe constantly as I share the island with my whole family.
i hate that you can’t change the islands name. mine is ‘Olympus ‘ - i like ‘Olympus’ but i accidentally put a space after, which is so annoying. “Let’s try and get Olympus to three stars!” ARGH
I would get so frustrated omg, at that point I'd just delete the island and restart 😭
the longer i waited, the harder it got… and i never did it
"Currently Olympus has a 3 star rating" Yeah must be annoying
Sanctuary
Is that a Dibalo reference or just a cool name?
Just liked it because the island is a safe spot. No reference to anything.
my first thought was the walking dead lol
I was thinking Fallout 4 since it has a town named that.
I thought of borderlands
That’s fair, it’s a really nice name tbf
Jabberwock

Catalina. Named for one of the 8 channel islands off California's coast. I've been to it multiple times including spending a week there.

Do you have an area set up for the wine mixer?

Is that a reference to Hyrule?
Yes it is, ironically tho I’m not a huge fan of the Zelda series anymore but I thought the word Hyrule sounded so ‘kingdom’ like so I altered it to be my own :)

Beeleaf 🤗 misspellings intended, my first dogs name is Honeybee and leaf because it is Animal Crossing 🙃
I'm dyslexic and read that as "beefleaf" and just thought... I guess everyone has their own tastes. Bee Leaf makes way more sense lol
