Nebraska can offer Geneva, Peru, Cairo, Syracuse, York, Prague, and Gothenburg, among others--but there used to be more: Lancaster was renamed Lincoln in 1869, and Berlin changed to Otoe in 1918.

I think there are various Albions, too--one in Nebraska, one in Iowa.

I could do an Australian one of these but frankly I don't have enough years left to complete it.

Ruzuzu, kindly add any Nebraska (or other) place names. This is still a work in progress. Much thanks.

Thanks v--I would, but it doesn't seem to be an open list.

Thank you for pointing out my error. I rarely create lists for me ONLY. It's the collaborative aspect of Wordnik that makes it fun!

Sometimes it's hard to switch back and forth once a list has been started--but the moment I can list things, I will.

After all, open list is my middle name.
