> If you go international, Longest list of cities proper that I found quickly http://www.citypopulation.de/world/Agglomerations.html cuts off at 1E6 (three way tie for #s 476 477 478). There are three exact matches on 'English Name' in million-Plus cities-
Hyderabad Birmingham Valencia In English, We don't latinize Colombo, Sri Lanka, so it doesn't match Columbus OH; Colombo, Brazil city proper is less than a quarter million, but the conurbation is 2M+, so that could count. I am surprised that each San/Santa/santo/saint only breaks 1E6 once, except St.Louis + Sao Luis. Going down below half million for top thousand, China gets a some internal dups, and I finally find SANTIAGO DE LOS CABALLEROS as a near dup for Santiago (Chile), and Santiago de Cuba and Santiago de Compostella (Spain) still aren't populous enough to make top 1000 list. Only that one pair of Old-Country and American namesakes are both Million+ ! For the rest, it varies which is larger. Combining a long US List with the world Million or Top Thousand would find Rome NY, Naples FL, maybe Paris MAINE if it's really long. Would need an equally detailed list of English market towns etc to find the smaller namesakes, e.g. Portland, Portsmouth, Cambridge, Weymouth, Falmouth, Reading, Boston.
