There are lots in the UK, although mostly hyphentated and based on rivers; also, some might be towns rather than cities: Stoke-on-Trent, Ashton-under-Lyne, Welwyn Garden City, Newcastle-upon-Tyne...

Wow, some beautiful suggestions here! Thanks, everybody!
I've decided to include all the English hyphenated towns, because I think they're curious, and I like curiosities.
Bilby, you have some truly excellent names there (I will always have a special place in my heart for Head-Smashed-In, ever since reading Dave Barry's account of the place), but unfortunately, they're not cities or towns, so I don't think they really fit what I had in mind.

John, I did think of New York City. I live in upstate New York, and I'm forced to think of NYC every time I have to explain to someone that I'm not from there. (Yes, world, it's possible to be a New Yorker without being from that particular city!)
But as far as I know, the official name of NYC is "New York", not "New York City". If this is true, then the name doesn't quite fit on this list. :-(
