Naming your island can be the most fun and daunting task, right? Aside from having to think of something amazing (that Tom Nook will absolutely not allow you to change later), it is also limited to a maximum of 10 characters, including letters, numbers, spaces, and special characters. Thanks, Nook.
If you are stuck and looking for island name inspiration, maybe these 150 ideas will spark some joy or creativity. I tend to love really cozy islands… think natural, cottagecore, forestcore, storybook, gardencore, botanical, cutesy… that kinda vibe. The names below will feel very much in line with those themes and I will break them out by section.
If you are still stuck on the actual island theme you are going for, here are 75 ideas to consider. But if the name is all you need, let’s get into it.
