Does the naming of the city have anything to do with how successful/famous a city is, or does it play no role at all? Examples:
Daly City is the closest suburb south of San Francisco. What if these names had been switched? Would tourists have gravitated to this suburb San Francisco, lured by the name, anyway?
If NYC had been named after one of its suburbs, like White Plains? Yeah, when the Dutch arrived there, the whole island could have been covered with white snow, thus?
Can you think of cities that should have been more successful, just due its name, or cities that became successful with unattractive names?
No, a great city makes its name world renown, a sleepers town will always be just that. A unique name doesnt lure anything, maybe 0.1% of the population of the world at most, and all being people who have a fetish for anything cool sounding
