I have VV1. Can anyone help me get some name ideas? I would like them to sound like unusual islands names.

Hmmmm...Although I spent a good deal of time in the pacific, I'm really not that good with names. One of the things I sometimes do for fun is simply reverse the spelling of names I know.
Example: James becomes Samej and Jamie becomes Eimaj.

You might also go to http://www.babynamesworld.com/category-polynesian-names.html or

http://www.babynamenetwork.com/baby_names/origins/Polynesian_baby_names.cfm

These two sites will give you some authentic island names and I'm sure there are others.

Have fun & enjoy your games

There was a time when I went through naming my people that I went online and googled (searched) for Hawiian names. I found a list of baby names. It was great.

If you go to this site: http://www.babynames.com/ you'll find plenty of names. Sometimes I use this site for name ideas to go in my non-villager writing.

Scroll down on the page and you'll find a collection of different backgrounds to look at.

sometimes normal names rearranged can sound good!

i just add two letters at each name

When i first started playing this game, i named the villagers after people i knew and family members, even myself. But after they died, it was kind of freaky seeing my name and my sons names on the tombstones, so now i just change the names to something close to what they should sound like, like suki is susie, etc.
