I live in a small NJ town across Hudson river called West New York and I hate to explain people over and over it is actually in New Jersey. Even my HR believed I made a typo on my address and withheld NY state tax rate.

Haha, that reminds me of the town "Jersey Shore" in the middle of Pennsylvania-although "West New York" actually makes sense given its location.
Coeur d'Alene is a really pretty name - I'd never heard of it before seeing it mentioned somewhere here and I looked it up purely because the name was so intriguing.
Philadelphia - I really like the meaning ("city of brotherly love") too.

This is totally illogical, but I don't like it when towns and small cities are named after big cities: Moscow, ID; Dublin, CA; London, ON; Rome, NY; New Philadelphia, OH; Berlin, NH; or Cairo, IL.
For some reason it doesn't bother me when the city is bigger than the older city which it's named after: New York, NY; Syracuse, NY; Portland, OR; Halifax, NS; or Memphis, TN.
I have no idea why.
Others I dislike: Norman, OK; Gary, IN; Reston, VA; Tampa, FL (sounds like tampon); San Diego, CA (I think sandy ego); Blythe, CA; St. John, NB; St. John's, NF (nothing against St. John, but two capital cities with almost the same name is a little confusing).
