So, would that be Manchester NH, Manchester, MA or one of the other Manchesters?
I meant to add that I'll leave it to USians to comment on whether theirs should be a three level system with state. In most countries this doesn't tend to be necessary.
Not true. There are place name clashes in at least the UK, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland and France that I am aware of.
Perhaps you can suggest how we would name Croydon (Greater London) and Croydon (Cambridgeshire).
Also consider this town: http://www.grenspalen.nl/archief/baarle-map%20met%20enclave-aanduidingen-cen...
Which is in the Netherlands. The areas outlined in blue are Belgian enclaves. The area outlined in green are Dutch enclaves inside the Belgian enclaves.
Sorry, place names just ain't consistent. Your scheme will not work.
