Not a country issue but in Canada there are town names that are similar and always getting mixed up.
called Sydney in Cape Breton Nova Scotia but also a town called Sidney with an i in British Columbia. More than once items or people meant for one end up nearly 5,000km in the wrong direction, or worse in Sydney Australia (worse as in it's not in Canada...we love ya Aussies!).
Then here is the Saint John New Brunswick (NB) vs St John's Newfoundland and Labrador vs Saint Johns Quebec issue. In NB it's always Saint not St but NFLD it's always St. in Quebec French doesn't use apostrophe like the English language does for possession.
Even my own town Charlottetown has at least three others in this small region but at least we are a capital and somewhat known being the "Cradle of Confederation" (of Canada). A bit like Philadelphia's fame in US history.
