Some kind of resistance fighter type person from that area of the world.

Surely I'm not the only one who remembers this person???

The only problem I see on your list are the three Paris's in Wisconsin. That could cause confusion. The rest are just fine.

Once they got past "Portland" and "Salem", Oregon settlers had no lack of imagination:

There's only one "Idiotville" - just west of PDX - Zipcode 97141
and only one "Needy" - just south of PDX - Zipcode 97013
and only one "Boring" - just east of PDX - Zipcode 97009

...as it should be.

I bet there ain't no PDX, France. Or PDX, Cork County, Ireland. Or PDX, Bavaria, Germany.



I like to kid your PDX. I can't help it.

Why do names need to be unique? Your name isn't unique.
