What about Boston? That's an example of the newer city being more important, globally speaking than the original. Or what about Cambridge - that one's especially unclear because it can refer to two cities with great universities.
- notahacker 14y agoIt work both ways: you probably wouldn't need to say "Boston, USA" to save people from making the assumption you meant the small town in Lincolnshire and not the New England capital, or "Melbourne, Australia" to identify that you meant the cultural capital of Australia and not a small market town in Derbyshire. Cambridge is more or less the only exception when it comes to Anglophone cities with the same name and similar levels of international fame
