I have always enjoyed all the little towns named identically to other places. Maine, New York; London, Ontario; Mexico, Maine. There are a lot of others.

In Germany, we have cities with identical names, too (Frankfurt, Halle, most likely others I am unaware of). But being a much smaller country, it doesn't lead to much confusion.
