hey, all. just a quick question, i wanted to get some second opinions on names for a couple of cities. i want to finalize this since i've had it up in the air for longer than i care to admit.

for some US cities, i wanted to use older/original names for some of them to help demonstrate the differences of the TL but in some cases i wasn't sure how they sounded or i had multiple options and couldn't decide. anyway, the ones i'm considering that aren't dependent on other elements of the TL are:
  • Atlanta: either Marthasville or Terminus
  • Albuquerque: i know that the city is named after a historical figure, but for reasons that i won't go into in this thread, i'm questioning if it should be changed to either White Oak, Father Oak, (both literal translations) Apricot, (a folk etymology) or Sandia (from a nearby pueblo)

any help on these?
