Big Easy - New Orleans (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.nbc4.com/answerstoaskliz2003/2166421/detail.html
As for New Orleans, the term comes from a turn of the century jazz club called the "Big Easy Hall". In 1979 police reporter James Canopy wrote a New-Orleans based crime novel called "The Big Easy". And much of the credit goes to Times-Picayune columnist Vetty Guillaud who popularized the phrase in the 1970's.

epodunk - Community-Profiles (US)

(E2)(L1) http://www.epodunk.com/
Meine Stichproben ergaben, dass es zur überwiegenden Anzahl der Informationen zu US-amerikanischen Städten auch Hinweise zur Namensgebung gibt, die meist mit der Formel "The community was named ..." eingeleitet werden.
Dies rechtfertigt die Aufnahme im Etymologie-Portal.

got - City nicknames (US)

(E?)(L?) http://www.got.net/~landauer/lists/CityOf.html

The following is my list of City Nicknames, started around 1993. I had collected suggestions from the rec.games.trivia newsgroup, and had heard someone on KGO (San Francisco's AM news-talk radio station) use the phrase "... 10,000 residents of The City, of complications from ...".
So I appropriated that phrase "The City of Complications", as an exceptionally apt nickname for San Francisco, and went on to collect a few other names. When I had enough of them, I posted the list to that newsgroup.
So far, I have only been able to re-locate the quiz version of my list, so I haven't actually merged all of the answers back into the list yet. This past year or two (2001-2002), I added a few from the "Isaac Asimov" quiz column in the newspaper, a Sunset Magazine article (which lists California as the "World Capital of Agricultural World Capitals"), and other sources. I also found two other lists on the web (URLs below).
