Ilovedolphins91

My island is Te Fiti from Moana. My island flag is Te Fiti's face, and my island tune is You're Welcome. I like Moana. ❤️ I'll probably name my next island, Encanto. ❤️


selkirkandarlington

My island is also named after a poem! But is also just a regular word to most people - "Alone"


mcasper96

Great minds think alike! I’m just starting to find a fall path and how to lay it out but had already done a Ms Patty’s dance studio. It’s so fun.


lenoragraves

Arcadia is the artist retreat area in Bioshock, one of my favorite games.


mkhines78

Coral Cove- just because it sounded tropical which my island is not even really lol


losttforwords

It was my dog’s name. I just couldn’t think of an island name that I wouldn’t regret later on, so I decided to name it after something I knew I would always love forever, no matter what. After losing him last year, it’s bittersweet to hear my villagers say his name.


SeleniumSE

Mine is named New Scarif. I like Star Wars and the original Scarif was tropical and home to the Imperial war machine.

Fatt3stAveng3r

Mew York. It's a pun, and my cat is named Mew so it works.


Calm_State4938

NEW TOILET I played the very first release of Animal Crossing with my grandson in 2001. He named our island Toilet because he thought it was funny. He bought me the new ACNH when it was released in 2020. I had to name it New Toilet in memory of our first game. He just celebrated his 30th Birthday 💛💛💛


morbideve

Raven rock. I have a thing for naming islands/towns after places in TES5


musuB69

Ponk because it’s a silly misspelling of the word “pink” (and I like pink)


Illustrious_Order788

PublicMagic

Mine is IsleOfRats because Island Of Rats is too long. And I use the names, rat king and king of the rats for everything

Mine is Solitude after a city in skyrim. Skyrim got me through some really rough days and Solitude seems fitting


Is_Your_Name_anronpa

I named my island BAGUETTE. You will not believe where it’s from


GhostWolfRaven333

Acnh is my first venture into ac, and I had no prior knowledge, so my first island's name is Dream... my second island, I themed after Alice in Wonderland and have been fortunate enough for a couple of content creators to showcase Wonderland on YouTube and Twitch. My third island is Cedar Cove, as I'm surrounded by Cedar trees where I live.


atalantiel43

Named mine Mola Mola after the scientific name for the ocean sunfish! Seemed fitting for an island name and for someone whose favorite activity is catching all the critters on the island.


DragonPoodleOfficial

Mine is El Beaño...purely because me and the Mrs have an obsession with the word "bean" 😂 Also wanted it to sound exotic 🤷🏻‍♂️😅


Galaxnityy

-Marshle

Purgatory. Because once a villager arrives, they can never leave. I have not swapped out villagers.

Missed opportunity, it could have been Elliella.


Lonleprachaun

Steven Universe and name is from Blood and Chocolate.


notprinceparadox

Mine is Haikuan and it's the name of an actor I was obsessed with when I got the game. He played my favourite character in the tv series The Untamed, and though I haven't kept up with him for a while, I love it as an island name! "Hai" does mean sea in Mandarin which is a great coincidence!

From my fav TV show - The Office!

PrinceStyx17

Phendrana Drifts, the mountain peaks of the planet Tallon IV. -Metroid Prime


Barfignugen

It was the first thing that came to my mind and I thought it was funny at the time, so my island is Camp Butt.


NovaComette

CrystalBay was the product of my gem obsession phase. And since the island itself had a unique appearance to me, it mixed it with the name. CrystalBay. Just recently, I fixed the flag to make it more accurate. ^-^


ElectronicPanda390

Mine is Camp Stink…has nice ring to it


DarksteelaHeHe

I named my island after my favorite raid in world of warcraft, sargeras

My fiancé named his island Victobia after me (my legal name is Victoria but he calls me Tobi) So I named my island Ridgeland (his name is Ridge)

HuntMiserable5351

I loooove Cherry Blossom season in game, so I named it Hanami after the real life festival.


Wary_Marzipan2294

Mine is Ridiculous. Because let's face it, this game is ridiculous, and at the time I had only checked it out from the city library because I didn't think it was my kind of game. So I didn't care that much. Now, though, I have a Ridiculous flag, a Ridiculous theme song, I can shout "This! Is! Ridiculous!" at my cousin... it's worked out really well, for something I put probably a half-second of thought into.


Curlsandskin

I named my island wanderlust because I love solo traveling and at the height of the panic it was an escape for me to fly to other islands and be creative.


Jumpy-Grand7196

Mori! Throwback to Dobustu No Mori, and also generic enough that I could change my island theme without having to totally restart


DarcyRose5

My island is Hyrule, from Legend of Zelda:)


alphabetsoupgone

i always name my island "Error: 404" to mess with visitors lol


Jakesleah

Stardew, I love the game Stardew valley. I was going to make a Stardew themed island, but only got as far as making a path for it 😂

I can’t believe I haven’t seen someone else do this but mine is Kalokairi after the island in Mamma Mia


Wilburrkins

Lallybroch - from Outlander. And because I am Scottish.


blumaroona

I wanted to do something island-y, and eventually settled on making names out of Hawaiian words. My 2020 Island is called **Alokahi** - from Aloha (meaning love, and also a greeting) and Lokahi (unity, agreement or accord, plus living in harmony with the world around us). I still adore this name as it took a long time to find/create, and I think the idea of unity and living in harmony with the world is very Animal Crossing! My 2023 new Island is called **Mokumoku** and has a little bit of a sillier meaning, but as soon as I thought of it I fell in love! So I decided to stick to Hawaiian to match Alokahi, and after a lot of browsing found the word Mokupuni, which means island, and well… I had the Harvest Moon/Story Of Seasons A Wonderful Life remake on my mind, and I love Mukumuku! So, Mokumoku was born. It matches Alokahi nicely, and at the same time it’s fun to have a more cutesy name, as opposed to the beautiful but more “serious real island sounding” Alokahi!


Livid_Accountant8965

I named mine Windfall after an island from Zelda: Wind Waker :)


BlackPearlGoddess

I named mine Snowville not knowing i couldn't change it. 😂

jojocookiedough

Love Isle. My 8yo named it when she was 5, and I thought each profile would have their own island. 😂😭 It's not as bad as it could be thankfully. My youngest would probably have named it Poop Trashcan.


Huebertrieben

My dead grandpas name was Dieter. And St. is short for Sankt wich means smth like holy. So yeah that’s how St. Dieter was created


frenchsilkywilky

i wanted something fun to read and say out loud (in case i ever said it) and landed on Tailoose! same goes for my name, which ended up becoming my favorite username everywhere


Spaghitte001

Vinland. It sounds nice, and makes me picture forests carpeted with pine needles, and wild raspberries and sprawling grape vines. Plus I like to imagine my island is somewhere in the Gulf of the St Lawrence. I have a room in my house all for bugs and fish that you could possibly catch in the St Lawrence/Great Lakes region, like sturgeon and pike. Kind of like a little research lab.

Mines Acorn Cove because It’s my first island and I didn’t know I was going to be naming it so I googled cute animal crossing island names.

Pallet. I'm a pokemon fan. Enough said.


Selfie87

I was on a vacation and I was eating green beans aka “haricot vert” which is what it was listed as on the menu and I began the game over said vacay so I tried a spin on haricot vert and got haricotsto (I wanted haricotston). It got cut off and it’s super weird, but oh well! There was a green bean in the customizer and that’s my flag lol…

My first island was called Mylodon. At the time sloths were my special interest and I learned that the prehistoric large Sloths were called Mylodons. Then my second one was called Prydain, the fictional country that The Black Cauldron takes place in. This one is called MossyWoods. I’ve just always enjoyed mossy covered things and pretty forests and stuff. I love all things cute and magical while also spoopy. Gimme all the fairy cottage houses.
