[edit] Misleading term
It's a delightful category, but the title "Double-named places" is misleading, since there is already a Wikipedia List of double placenames in which the doubleness consists of merging two former placenames into a new single placename. A more accurate linguistic term would be Reduplicative placenames. See Reduplication. So let's rename it. Tacitus 21:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
