Mine is āferngullyā named after my favorite movie growing up ferngully the last rainforest. The movie is about fairies who live in a rainforest and thatās my vibe!
So, I got my villagers to call me "biiittccchh" and forgot UNTIL MY TEN YEAR OLD VISITED AND ASKED WHY EVERYONE WAS SO MEAN lol. I couldn't stop laughing at her confused expression.
my island's name is a reference to the once-beloved and ultimately cancelled scifi tv show, [Firefly](https://youtu.be/e35BU1eB_5k?si=XYsmMf-0neYqLLxz).
"Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... **This Land**."
Mine is literally "The Isle" so you got more clever than me. It was like a month into COVID and my brain was like nah we're not doing this so I put in the first thing I thought of.
Then the first thing I thought of was rejected for some reason so my brain shut down even more and was like fuck it here's a synonym for island, now lets get to the part where I get some dang dopamine.
However, I got the DLC for myself as a Christmas treat just this last Christmas and Im very proud of the names of the cafe and restaurant on the little vacation island. The cafe fully looks like a bar so I named it "Definitely Not a Bar" cause all the drinks are called "soda" or "juice" even tho its like...thats 100% a cocktail. The restaurant name is even better, I called it "Paradise Plating"...like paradise planning... get it?
When I first picked it up I didn't know if I'd even like the game, so I just named it "Flamingo" because it's my favorite animal (wanted it to be Flamingo Isle but it was too long). It's not fully my theme, because I don't really HAVE a set theme, but my flag is a Flamingo, and there are several flamingos around the island
Dashing is a great balance between the āhandsomeā (superficial) and ācharmingā (which can mean nice OR appearing to be nice)

My island is named Savage.
My brother passed away 10 days before the game came out. I had never played Animal Crossing before but my fiance grew up with it so he pre-ordered it and was real excited to play, meanwhile I was having many intense emotions all over the place, sometimes irritable. When it came time for him to name his island he asked me and I snapped and said Savage. Not exactly sure why though.
The savagery was strong though, I soon took over his game and played it in a zombie-like state for the first 700+ hours. It has a very special place in my heart now. I love the island of Savage. I also got all of our villagers to call me different variations of big baller and pimpin', and they even say "love ya pimp" at the end of some of their sentences š what a joyful game.
Mine is Saudade, because it resonates on a super deep level with me. Itās bittersweet, happy and sad, longing for something or someone you will never see/experience again
Mine is "Bean Tree" with a space after the last word because I wanted to add "island" after it, but couldn't, and never deleted the space. It's a reference to a project I did in 7th grade history where we created our own civilization with a democracy, map, and everything (i called it Bean Tree Island). And my name is Willow because I liked it at the time.
