Changing your town name

Something I’ve always wondered about and REALLY wish Nintendo would do is allow you to change the name of your town! (island for New Horizons 😜).

The day I got New Leaf, I had no idea that the name you choose for your town would be permanent. I didn’t really have much time to think of a good name and I desperately just wanted to play already! So, I came up with the name…. Anima? I have absolutely no idea why that word popped into my head. I have even less of an idea as to why I decided to name my town that. But, what’s done is done and still till this day, I really, really, REALLY wish I can change it.

Also, for anyone wondering, (no one is, I just need to tell you! πŸ™ƒ) when Nintendo announced New Horizons, the first thing I immediately did was whip out my phone, go on the notes app, and start curating a list of possible names for my island! I did this over the course of several months until I landed on a name that I really loved.

So, the moral of this lesson is to always have a list of possible names for an island or town on your notes app, just in case you’ve been appointed the daunting task of naming said island or town. You never know! Ooooh, that reminds me… I better start making a list of names for the next Animal Crossing game! Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later πŸ™‚
