My favorite is the Ottoman city of "NotConstantinople". I'm unsure about this but I remember a song by this early 90's indie band called They Might Be Giants and one of their songs, called "Not Constantinople", featured a chorus with the lyrics:
"Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks"
I do believe that we're going a bit off topic here. I understand that the city names are different; you can keep naming which ones, but try to expand your horizons past that. Thanks.
