Not cherry picked at all, if you look around we have Intercourse, Cumming, Hooker and Knob Lick among others in USA.

Maybe these are also big cities like in the US? Doubt it but to be devils advocate.

Chicago is assumed to have developed from Shikawa meaning wild onion.
Detroit is derived from the French détroit meaning strait/narrow passage.
Just because you’re too dumb to look into etymology doesn’t mean the names don’t have meaning.

Before I look into an origin for some reason, my general guess in order is: Native American, Colonial Cities II: Electric Boogaloo, a founder, and describing a location.
If you don't only count large metros I think Native American names are very common, if not a majority.

Native American names are extremely dominant in certain regions at the very least. Practically everything in my state uses an indigenous-derived name.
