I wonder how others name their cities.
Usually I leave the capital as it is named, but newly founded cities start with the resources in their name. For example a city with Stone and Horse will be named StoneHorse (or HorseStone). This allows me to easily identify the city when I see its name somewhere.
In some games I name my first city like my hometown (Antwerp) and then name the next cities on par with their geographical location (so a city south of the capital will be named like a real city in my real south).
Starting in the classical era the city names get prefixes according to their specialization (Sci-StoneHorse for a science focus, or Mil-Arc-StoneHorse if its main focus is building Military-Archers) etc.
What do you do?
