Anyone Rename Cities?

It always gave me a nerdy grin in Civ4 to capture Byzantine's capital and rename it Istanbul.

I don't really rename cities in Civ5, but I always give any military unit that makes it to level 6 or higher some sort of awesome name to befit it's elite status.

Just curious, only do it when a city is of immense value and just want to stick a finger to the guy i took it off, I.E. in multiplayer, after trying to take Washington for a large amount of time, finally took it and named it New Beijing, just to rub salt into the wound.

I renaming cities just for fun.

I always rename all of my captured cities with the next city name in my civ's list.

I do that, but only to annexed cities. I rename puppets into cities that are kind of related to the civ I'm playing.(eg:I rename a puppet "Kiev" if I'm playing as Russia)

I do.. several times
the latest one... just a few moments ago. was to rename the capitol city to Troy. (the civilization of 'trojans' are represented as Turks... well I also renamed them as well =^.^=)
