I just had a female name Dada - and I was like ! Then I renamed a few others and by the time I was done, my whole village had new identies. Do any of you change odd names?

I tend to change villagers names if i dislike them, or if the name dosen't suit them

Oh I rename them alright! I cannot say some of the names on here though!

I rename when I feel it's necessary. I have yet to have more than one villager named the same thing, but I'm getting lazy.

I keep the name of the villagers "created" by the game: the 7 original villagers, the savage child, the old friends, babies arrived in a barrel...
And I rename the villagers "created" by me, keeping the 1st letter. Bora became Barbara, Popo became Paulin, Miro became Michel etc. I just keep 1 or 2 original name that I like as Agate, City or Nani.
When the game is "completed", I keep their name and add the 2 or 3 first letters of their parents.
I don't know exactly why I do that, maybe to recognize them easily.

I do it like that:
If the origial name is City, I change it to Dity.

cute!!

Put them surname
like

Hokou Perz
City Perz

if they are related

Sorry but what that means "Perz"? is it their parents name?

I renamed a bunch of my Villagers. I have a Pebbles and even have a Bobo! (cuz he looks like a bozo (the clown) but he has white white skin and his huge huge afro!!) I named another Villagers Topanga because she looks JUST like that character from Boy Meets World!!
