Create Your Own Island Name

If you don’t like the names from our island name generator, then try creating your own! With our quick and easy techniques, you can create cool island name ideas within minutes. 

But before you begin, you need to think about the type of island you are creating. Is it a spooky island? A cute, fun-type island? Or are you just looking for a realistic-sounding name for your fake island? Once you know the type of island, you can move on to using any of the two techniques mentioned below.

Our first technique for naming islands is the adjective and noun technique. This technique involves combining adjectives and nouns to generate island name ideas. The nice thing about this technique is that it can fully describe your island in as simple as two words. Your readers will know exactly what to expect when they hear these island names! 

Here are the steps for creating island names with this technique:

  1. Make a list of adjectives that describe your island. For example, Creepy, Old, Ancient, Little, Deathly and so on.
  2. Next, create a list of relevant nouns for your island. For example, Lotus, Crab, Banana, Tiiger, Ship and so on.
  3. Make a list of island synonyms, such as island, isles, reef, shores, land, tropic, bay etc.
  4. Now all you do is combine the adjective, noun and island synonyms to get your island name ideas. Here are some of ours: Creepy Toad Isles, Ancient Lotus Tropic and Deathly Bones Bay.

Another technique you could try is taking a person’s name, and then just adding ‘Island’ to the end of it. This works well if you’re trying to create a mysterious island, as the name of the island doesn’t give away too much to the reader.

Here are the steps to our second technique:

  1. Take an exotic-sounding name of a person. Our fantasy name generator may come in handy here! Here are some examples: Kai, Hasumi, Shizumi, Holokai, Nerina, Poseidon or Dodola.
  2. Now, make a list of island synonyms, such as island, isles, reef, shores, land, tropic, bay etc.
  3. Finally, combine the person’s name with the island synonyms to get your unique island name. Here are our examples: Hasumi Bay, Nerina Retreat, Poseidon Shores and Kai Rock. 

Naming islands isn’t that bad! Try our technique and see what island names you can come up with. Oh, and we’ll love to see the names you can come up with in the comments below!
