This post is actually not what the OP intended. He didn't ask to have a gender assigned to cities, he asked which cities are named for women and which are named for men- Austin, TX is a good example, clearly male. The cities you listed above are not male or female first names.
That said, I disagree on your gender assignment for NYC. It's definitely a female and she doesn't take crap from anyone.

OP said nothing about whom cities are named for. It's pretty clear the idea is to think of city names that sound masculine and city names that sound feminine.
Victoria, Texas, is named after a man -- Guadalupe Victoria , the first president of Mexico. It is on the Guadalupe River, also named after him.
Also female names are all the cities in California that begin with Santa: Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, etc.
Here is the current list (2013) of the most popular girls baby names in America:
4. Charlotte (NC)
7. Madison (WI)
11. Harper (KS)
21. Taylor (MI)
28. Savannah (GA)
33. Kennedy (TX)
40. Sydney (MT)\

But how can you determine if NYC is male or female? No he was asking for cities that are boys or girls names or can be. I dont know anyone named New York City do you?
