Detroit-Warren-Livonia= Metro Detroit
Chicago-Naperville-Michigan City= Chicagoland
Miami-West Palm Beach-Fort Lauderdale= South Florida

SF-Oakland-San Jose= Bay Area
Dallas-Fort Worth= Metroplex?/ DFW
That's ok. I think some of the names are kinda dumb. "DMV," "Hampton Roads," "triangle/tripod/triad," etc. might be appreciated by locals, but I'm sure most outsiders will say "why don't you just tell me the metro/city you're talking about?"
Cleveland and Akron-Caton: Northeast Ohio
Toronto-Mississauga-Oshawa: GTA
Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-Palm Beach: South Florida
Nashville: Middle Tennessee
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton: Lehigh Valley
Baltimore-Annapolis: Central Maryland
Seattle: SeaTac
Portland: Willamette Valley
Memphis: The Mid-South (A bit vague since that can simply mean the area between the Upper and Lower South).
The Willamette Valley refers to more than just the Portland area, and really when people say Willamette Valley around here they're referring to areas south of Portland like Salem and Eugene and Albany or the McMinnville/Newberg wine country--and people don't refer to the Clark County or Washington County suburbs as Willamette Valley. There's really not a good second name for the Portland Metro--people in the Clackamas or Washington County suburbs will just say they're from Portland.
