User:The Jacketed Terrapin/List of Villager Names Across Languages

Because villagers usually have a different name across all languages, this page is to take every name used in all languages (at least only the ones that use the Latin alphabet) of the series and compile them to see which villagers they are shared between. Across six different languages, there are a total of 1,909 different names between all villagers (give or take a few differently spelt/formatted variations).

Do note that this page will only include the languages that predominantly use Latin characters. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Russian are excluded since, as far as I'm aware, none of the names from those languages have official Romanized spellings (if there are, let me know, but I'd still rather have this be an all-or-nothing deal, anyway).

Also worth noting is that names that are otherwise the same will still be separate if there is at least a one character difference (i.e. one character longer, one character shorter, one character is swapped out with another, one character is capitalized, or there is a diacritic present).

In cases where one name was given to two or more villagers, the villagers will be ordered based on their debut game (or in the case of the Doubutsu no Mori e+ villagers, their western debut). If all villagers debuted in the same game, they will be ordered based on which localization the name was first used in. If all localizations released on the same day, then the order will be determined by their ID (see this page and this page for more information). In regards to villagers that received a name change in a later installment, the first game to use their new name will count as their debut game when discussing said new name (e.g. Cally will come before Sally in regards to the "Sally" name, as Cally had the name first in the original Animal Crossing, whereas the current Sally would not get her name until Wild World and was previously named "Hazel" in the original Animal Crossing. This is despite Sally coming before Cally in the original Animal Crossing game's ID system).

Do note that NTSC versions of Animal Crossing and Wild World do not support any language besides English. Although City Folk does have both Quebec French and Latin American Spanish localizations, both versions do not use the PAL French and PAL Spanish names of the characters respectively, instead using their English names. For the sake of simplicty, the names used in the non-English NTSC versions of City Folk will not count towards this project.

Shared Names
This is a list of cases where the same name was given to different villagers.

Name Changes
This is a list of villagers who have had their name from one specific language change between installments

Recurring Names
I’ll get started on this section once my computer gets fixed. For now, consider this a hint of what’s to come.
