Carmel Indiana(fancy suburb) = Carmel CA?
Edit: Carmel Indiana was founded in the 1800s. Yeah, it likely has no relation to the famous boutique town in CA

There was, is?, a Pasadena in New Jersey.

"In 1883, the remaining officers of the Wheatland Manufacturing Company decided to change the mission of the company from terra cotta manufacture to real estate development. A development was drawn up and registered with the county clerk; it was named ‘Pasadena.’ At first, lot sales were high, but soon turned for the worse. In fact, the Pasadena development failed utterly by 1915 without a single house ever having been built."

There is also a Beverly Hills, Michigan in the Detroit suburbs with about 10K population. Like the California city it is a very affluent community. But the Florida location in Citrus County is more of a modest income exurban retirement area.

Not a city, but the Virginia neighborhood of Hueytown, AL (the squarish part of the municipality) is named after Virginia City, NV.
