Cities with the Same Name

What about the two Hyderabad ?

I'm American. So why did I immediately think of the country Georgia rather than the state? :/

Georgia could have dominated this list too: Athens, Rome, Macon, Cairo, Springfield, Columbus, Gainesville, Albany... heck, even the tiny town of Swainsboro was once called Paris. it's amazing that there are any original city names at all.

We even have Buckhead, a neighborhood, and Buckhead a town. And I live in Roswell, GA. Not Roswell, NM, with all the aliens.

There's also a Waterloo in Iowa, you know.

What about Newcastle in England and Newcastle in Australia???

How 'bout Dover, Delaware and Dover, U.K.?

I'm proud to have been to both St. Petersburgs.

To be fair, the USA are the champions at stealing other people's place names.

Yes, but we always put "New" in front of the names, so people know they are improved. :)

Canada is pretty good at it too. I live within two hours of Paris, London, Stratford, Waterloo, Scotland, Delaware, Avon, and Woodstock. Many of these are situated on the Thames River. All in Ontario.

Back in the early 1970s, when Nixon shocked the world by opening up relations with the People's Republic of China through ping pong diplomacy, one of the history professors at my school planned to make his first million by producing table tennis rackets with a picture of Mao on one side and the inscription "Made in China" on the other. China, Maine, that is. He never did, unfortunately.

there are 2 barcelonas! one in venezuela and one in spain

There's a Hamilton in both New Zealand and Ontario

And on Bermuda (UK)

and Scotland (UK)

You have also Worcester in England and in Massachusetts

Olympia (Greece and Washington) Vancouver (British Columbia and Washington)

I believe there's an Odessa in Ontario too.

What about Valencia? Spain: 787,000; Venezuela: 1,421,000

Of course, Ontario also has an Athens. And a Paris.

Actually made a few quizes on places in the USA with the same name as capitals in Europe, Africa and South America :). Might be fun for those who liked this one.

Shouldn't the one question read city in Ontario, not city in Ottawa ?

Santiago

There are Valencias in Spain and Venezuela - and they are both each country's 3rd largest city!

This quiz is too American orientated, great idea nonetheless.

yeah, good luck to you if you're not American

I'm not American but I got 12. Springfield is always a good guess for American city quizzes :-)

Waterloo has two universities; one is a top school the other is my alma mater

Surprised not to see Rochester!

I'm not well travelled in this quiz, I've only been to Scottish Perth, Spanish Toledo and Russian SPB.

Of course when you mentioned two university towns I immediately thought of William Faulkner's hometown in Mississippi. But not for long.

Too US-centric this time. 16/20 are located in US. It is not perfect, but ok. The problem is that 7/20 are located solely in different US states, but not in any other country, it is way too big percentage. What about Cordoba, Valencia, Tripoli, Guadalajara, perhaps London or Venice...

So basically, names of places in the U.S. that share names with other places.

There's a Kochi in India and one in Japan. Then there's Durgapur in India and another in Bangladesh

Aurora (where I live) is also a suburb of Toronto, more or less.

My grandparents used to own a condo in Naples, Florida. It took me a long time before I learned there was also a Naples, Italy.

St. John‘s, Newfoundland v St. John‘s, Antigua and Barbuda
