I have also noticed a pattern where multi-word capitals are not included, like st johns, st georges, mexico city, and so forth. I guess it would be a little bit impractical for something like Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte to be included too. I haven't seen Washington, or Ottawa yet.

I actually do agree with this, but that is because I have Teheran stuck in my head due to the Atlanta Braves starting pitcher, Julio Teheran. So, those who are Braves fans may also get mixed up with it. Now, I do understand that last names of baseball players doesn't count as to accept an incorrect spelling of a word.

Yes, some of them are. Indeed, all of them are. If you haven't heard of them, I'd suggest practicing on the Capitals test before attempting this one. Some of them sound very strange, and you'll never get them in a scramble unless you are familiar with the name.
