Still better than I’d do naming things. It’d just be Landplace 1, Landplace 2, etc.
-This road
-That road
I mean, America just numbers most of their streets.
I think there is above 50 cities named “Villeneuve” in France (literraly meaning "New City)
Yup, lots of places are named Neustadt in Germany too. Same meaning.
People have always had a lack of creativity.
When the Greeks were settling around the Mediterranean they founded many ‘New Cities’, (Neapolis). One remained a ‘new city’ for long enough for the name to evolve to Naples.
The Phoenicians did the same, in their language ‘New City’ was Qart Hadasht, we now call it Carthage. One of the Carthages in what is now Spain was conquered by Rome and to differentiate it from the Capital of the Carthaginians they called it Carthago Nova, essentially New New City.
Yeah, in my country Germany there are loads of places called New-(City|Village|Mill|Castle) all over the place, too.
Meanwhile, the Americans that didn’t even put “new” in front of the city name and just called it Paris, Texas or some shit.
London, Ontario is one of the worst ones, and it’s not even in the US.
Good old Fake London
