Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 5 Ways To Create The Perfect Island Name
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is all the rage these days, what with the self-distancing and the staying home and the COVID-19. (Seriously, STAY HOME people!) And why shouldn’t it be? You basically get to do everything virtually that you can’t do IRL like go to the store, walk up to people and chat with them from a less than 2 meter/6 feet distance, and fly to exotic destinations!
There’s one big hurdle though, to starting your Animal Crossing: New Horizons home away from home — coming up with the perfect island name. You don’t want to create your new island and start your lifelong role as an indentured slave to Tom Leaf without having a fabulous name that makes people want to visit your island and pick all the fruit of your trees.
COGconnected is here to help! Here’s some great strategies to get those synapses firing in your brain and get those creative juices flowing:

- Your mother’s maiden name and the elementary school you went to.
- Your SIN number.
…okay, moving on —
