Siyo!
I do think that for this, there's a distinction
between Americans and Europeans.  Take, for instance,
the anonymity of "Springfield" in "The Simpsons".
They chose this city name because it's the most common
in the US, 8 major towns and who knows how many minor
ones.

From Bloomington (Indiana, not Illnois, not Minnesota,
though, curiously, they're all college towns.)
