OldManClayton, many years ago I grew up in a tiny town called East Liverpool, Ohio, along the Ohio River on that north-south panhandle of West Virginia.
They've stolen loads used to just run through small local towns in this weather widget I've got. Type in Manchester and theres about 15 or so in the US and the real one at the bottom of the list
You know, guys... we did come over here from europe. I think to a certain extent all countires steal names from each other, but the US is extra bad about it because you guys had already named all of your cities, plus settlers decided to name their new town after where they used to live... Meh. That's two people who at least lived in Ohio at one time. Awesome.

Theres a village round the corner from me named after some place in Norway. Or it means something in Norweigen. "Grotton". Yea. We're not entirely original ourselves!
I would take the naming of one of our cities after one of yours as a compliment. (Not because we're so awesome you should be honored, or anything. But we either liked your city or your city's name.)
