My daughter who is 7 named her Tribe Sama (which is a mixture of her name (Sammy) and Mama which is what she calls me which I thought was so precious. Then she wanted me to name mine "Mammy" which is a mixture of the same two. As far as villagers names go...I've changed a few but one that was given to me was Tuna...I just couldn't keep a villager named Tuna so I changed it to Tula lol. I LOVE being able to change the names...so fun. My daughter names all her villagers after her friends and the ones she thinks are ugly after the mean ones in her class lol...gotta love kids!!
