I like this more than toponyms ending with -pol, -tsk, -nsk, -rsk, and to a lesser extent -iv. It sounds unique and original, not following a template, and somehow fantasy-books-like as it suggests what people probably did there.

On the other hand, Ukraine has it's own New York too, just like in OP, and it inspired a lot of memes.
