Ultimate Animal Crossing Baby Name List

Animal Crossing is one of the most popular video games in Nintendo history, and for good reason. It's cherished by people of all ages and genders, and even by people who are normally not into video games in the first place. It's wholesome and relaxing, promotes financial responsibility, and is just plain fun! Each Animal Crossing character has his/her own distinct style, personality, and name! The names of these characters range from traditional to outrageous and everywhere in between. Due to the millions upon millions of children and adults alike who love these characters and Animal Crossing in general, I've compiled this list of USABLE Animal Crossing names. Even if you're personally not a fan of the video game, do still check this list out; not only are these names usable, but many of them are actually gorgeous!

Mint

Mott

Bobbsey Twins-era nickname name that could find new life via Nan, heroine of The Nanny Diaries. Nan was also the nickname of Annabel St George, the protagonist of Edith Wharton's novel "The Buccaneers".

Just the kind of old-fashioned nickname coming back into style. 

Nindori

O'Hare

Unlike the other fruit names that are just coming onto the baby name menu, Peaches is an old-timey nickname previously reserved for spangled showgirls, and now would be considered an outrageous -- verging on hip -- choice. Or perhaps it was, until 2023, when it entered the UK Top 1000, not sounding too out of place beside other 2023 favorites, Honey, Blossom, Sage, Halo, and Dolly. 

Peaches

Literary heritage: the "Loony Tunes" girlfriend of Porky Pig.  But with the increasing popularity of all kinds of unusual botanical names, Petunia may be a name we start to hear more of.  Perhaps-more-pleasing Petunia alternatives: Petal, Posy, Poppy.

Petunia

Pippy is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive nickname form, often derived from Philippa (meaning 'lover of horses' in Greek) or simply as an affectionate name inspired by the sound. The name has a playful, cheerful quality with its repeating 'p' sounds and diminutive '-y' ending. Pippy gained some recognition through children's literature, notably with the character Pippi Longstocking, though the spelling differs. As a given name rather than a nickname, Pippy remains quite uncommon, appealing to parents seeking something distinctively whimsical and informal. The name evokes qualities of spunkiness, youthful energy, and charm. While rarely appearing on popularity charts, Pippy has maintained steady, if minimal, usage throughout English-speaking countries over recent decades.

Pippy

Puck was Shakespeare's mischievous pixie who'a had a few television incarnations in more recent years. A popular name in The Netherlands but nowhere else, from what we can tell.

We love Puck for its energy and insouciance, but might not give it to a real child due to its similarity to a popular curse word.

Puck

Pashmina

Pekoe

Pelly

Quillson

This intriguing Scandinavian name is associated with Roald Dahl, author of the juvenile classics James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You can honor an ancestral Ronald just by dropping that middle 'n'.

Roald

Rocket has been used on a number of starbabies in recent years—among its celebrity endorsers are Jamie Oliver, Pharrell Williams, and Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington.
