The most confusing thing is there a city called California in Pennsylvania. I thought it was a joke when I first heard of it.

Yeah I remember reading an article about something completely unrelated and thinking it really weird how it kept talking about California but I realized it was the name of a borough.

Also, there is a very small Los Angeles in Texas named after LA in California.

tbh, I was thrown off by London, Ontario for a while. At least when CT went with New London, which is much less confusing. In general, there are too many cites/towns which share names with one another, especially ones in neighboring states.

There are significantly worse fates than ending up in Cape Breton for a vacation. It's a pretty delightful place, especially if you make it in the fall when the leaves have turned.

Telling people I was moving here was always pretty entertaining. "I'm moving to London" "Oh, that's exciting!" "Not that London."

Tried to get an airline ticket to Los Angeles recently, and the only tickets that would pop up on the website were for Ontario. Thought i was crazy for a while until I checked it out on Google maps.

That's correct, London is the territory that superseded the county of Middlesex and the City of London is the ancient bounds of the city pre-expansion. Does the City of London US also have an independent Westminster inside it?

The same applies for most of the Commonwealth. The Brits weren't exactly creative when it came to naming their colonies.

We made our own ones, the commonwealth isn't unified primarily because the colonies were literarily lobotomised.

Golly, its almost as if a bunch of people colonized the country and had to come up with names so they used the ones they already knew.
