Alright, let’s talk island names. You know that moment in Animal Crossing when the game casually asks you to name your island like it’s no big deal, and suddenly your brain goes completely blank? Yeah, been there. I’ve restarted islands more times than I’d like to admit just because a name didn’t vibe anymore. IMO, your island name sets the whole mood, so picking the right one actually matters.
This guide exists for one reason: to save you from staring at the naming screen in silence like it personally offended you. I pulled together a massive list of animal crossing island names ideas that feel fun, cozy, aesthetic, chaotic, and everything in between. Ready to steal a name and pretend you invented it yourself? Same energy. Let’s go 🙂

Conclusion
Whew. If your brain still says “I have too many options,” congrats, you’re officially an Animal Crossing player. Naming your island should feel fun, not stressful, so grab a name that makes you smile every time Isabelle says it out loud. FYI, the right name always feels right instantly—no overthinking required.
If you restart later and change it anyway, welcome to the club. We meet on Tuesdays and pretend that was the plan all along 😄
