For reasons that even I can't fathom (*), I've suddenly become interested in places named after other places - but not just any old eponyms, only those that start with "New" (New England, New Zealand, New York .....). I assumed, on the WP:WHAAOE principle, that we'd already have a list of such places, but if we do, I can't find it.
If one were to create such a list, what would be the best title: List of place names starting with "New"? I'm sure we could improve on that.
(*) I recently got to wondering which "New" place is the closest to its parent place (if that's the right term), and that train of thought has lead me here. But why I was wondering that in the first place, ...... Ah, the creative process at work in all its ineffable and majestic beauty. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 23:49, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I've added a cn tag to the statement "toponym has come to replace 'place-name' in professional discourse among geographers." It may be true, but I wasn't able to confirm it here or here vs. here (place name vs. toponym = 32,300 vs. 12,300 hits). Doremo ( talk) 09:50, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Where can I find out more info about the different organizations who define the names of places, such as US Federal Information Processing Standards, Google Maps policies or United Nationas and any notable discrepancies/methodologies? Shushugah ( talk) 20:25, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
What would you call names of peninsulas, capes, headlands or promontories? "Promonyms"? "Peninsulonyms"? -- Denelson 83 08:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
