I am going to assume you meant Phenix City, Alabama. If so, will say that it always was weird to me how it's spelled without an o, unlike the such city in Arizona.
And weird someone else didn't like Indian/Native Anerican city names. I personally like such city/town names myself(maybe with the exception of whatever Barrow, AK was renamed to, as sigh it seems too often I butcher the spelling and pronunciation of its new name), but to each their own.
I like Sioux Falls and Sioux City, Grand Rapids, Cedar Rapids, and Cedar Falls because they sound pretty and are easily confused. I love the name Milwaukee, and Cincinnati has a ring to it too. And best for last Sheboygan, WI and Cheboygan, MI!
Fun fact for those who don’t know:
Sheboygan and Cheboygan are both pronounced the same, with the “sh” sound.
Sheboygan is the much nicer town.
I like Tampa but don't like Nampa. It's just one letter difference, but to me it makes all the difference in the world. I don't even know why; it just does.

Least Favorite
• Washington D.C.- I like D.C., but didlike the name. It was always kind of confusing, as they added the Washington part to D.C. so it wouldn't be confused with Columbia Territory, but the ended up creating Washington state, so the name Washington DC is still ironically confusing. I was never the biggest fan of putting it in it's own district as opposed to a city in a state. Both these things make the name sound a little pretentious imo.
• New York City (When it's called just "New York" & especially when it's called New York, New York) - I just think it is redundant to name the city exactly the same as the state. I'd rather New York City just be called New York City all the time rather than the NY or NY, NY designations. I think it sounds more distinct & less redundant.
Ugh I don't like either of them, but this reminds me of the name Ethel Thayer - which when you say it sounds like you have a lisp!
