OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
How many of those cities actually kept the name for a couple of centuries? I only know about the one in Egypt.
A few, but most were eventually renamed, many of them in Late Antiquity or the Medieval period.
Some, on the other hand, just died out, period.
Explanation: The ever-humble Alexander the Great had a tendency to name (or rename) cities after himself. Not in different ways, more like "Alexandria, Alexandria, Alexandria, Alexandria".
Here his dastardly plan is discussed with his bodyguard/lover Hephaestion.
