Is this a problem? Many cities in the United States use European city names, but with a NEW in front. . . The most famous is New York, whose literal translation in English is New Yorkshire. . . Yankee naming is different from Chinese naming. Chinese naming is about artistic conception, so city names in China and even Asia are more poetic. Americans or Westerners prefer to use city names to commemorate someone or something, so naming is more straightforward. . .
