About funny Animal Crossing island names

Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives you 10 characters for an island name, spaces included, and no way to change it later short of starting the island over. That makes a joke name a real commitment, and it is why the best ones are short, clear and still funny on day 300. Every name in this list fits the limit, so nothing here needs trimming before you type it in.

More than half of the list is humor only a player gets. There are names about Tom Nook and the loans that follow you from tent to mansion, turnip prices and the stalk market, Bells, Redd's forged paintings, Isabelle's slow news days, the sea bass that is at least a C+, broken tools, Dodo Codes and the hunt for a dream villager. The rest are famous fictional islands, deadpan geography such as Landlocked, and names that get funnier with the words "Welcome to" in front of them.

Everything is clean and suits players of any age. One safety note for younger players: friends and strangers who visit your island can see its name, so do not use your real name, your age, your school or your town. A joke about owing a raccoon 98,000 Bells says plenty about you already.

How to choose funny Animal Crossing island names

  • Count the characters before you fall in love with a name. Spaces and punctuation count toward the 10, which is why some entries are clipped, like Small Spke or Down Paymt.
  • Say it with "Welcome to" in front. My Swamp, Jury Duty and Comm Error all get funnier as a greeting.
  • You cannot rename an island without restarting it, so pick a joke you will still like after the hundredth login.
  • Leave yourself out of it. No real name, age, school or hometown, because online visitors can see the island name.
  • Match the joke to how you play. Turnip traders get Sell High or Decreasing, decorators get More Fence, and anyone who time travels has earned Its 3 AM.

Frequently asked questions

How long can an Animal Crossing island name be?

New Horizons allows up to 10 characters, and spaces count. All 500 names in this list are 10 characters or shorter, so each one can be typed in as written. A few use clipped spellings to fit, such as Stalk Mkt.

Can I change my island name later?

No. The game has no rename option for islands, and the only way to get a new name is to start the island over. Sleep on a name before you commit, and read it in a sentence like "Welcome to Nook York" to be sure it still makes you smile.

What are some funny Animal Crossing island names?

Many of the jokes in the list are about the game itself: Loan Shark and 98000 Owed for the Nook debt, Sell High and Ant Bait for turnips, Fake Art and Redd Flag for Redd, and C Plus or Not A Bass for the fish everyone catches. Deadpan names such as Landlocked, Peninsula and Too Long N work well too.

Are these island names okay for kids?

Yes, the list is written to be clean and friendly, with nothing rude hidden in the puns. Younger players should also keep personal details out of an island name. A real name, age, school or town should never go in, since visitors can see it.
