To be fair, have you ever been to regular York? I have, it sucked. New York is a slight to moderate improvement.

Canada did it right, and just named the city without adding new.
London Ontario, Paris Ontario, Berlin Ontario (before it was renamed over a minor European dispute).
Unfortunately Nova Scotia was already called that before it joined.
It's even more entertaining.
For example Manna-hatta was renamed by Europeans (specifically the Dutch) New Amsterdam and later renamed again by Europeans (this time the English) as New York.
By the time there were officially "Americans" (i.e. after the Independence of the United States) the deed was already done.
Big Jian Yang energy
Still better than I'd do naming things. It'd just be Landplace 1, Landplace 2, etc.
-This road
-That road
Don't forget underscores for easier parsing! Landplace_1, Landplace_2...

No new Scunthorpe though, for some reason 🤔
Ah yes...New Walla Walla, New Nimrod. New Nenana, New Miami
It’s actually more like “Noo”.
