Hi! This is just a small game on Twitter. If you know a town in US or
Canada with an European name please sent me a tweet and I'll put down your
suggestion and your name here.
Please send me only one name per day and not a list as I'd like to involve many people and I would like to discuss with you the history of the city and the origins of the name.
So it would be interesting for me if you live in this town, what do you know of the history of the name and if there is a partnership with the European place.
Have a look at the latest suggestions which I got on Twitter. More places you can find sorted by alphabet in the box left above.
