Halo is what i'm focussed on but this goes for any sci-fi series involving humans I suppose. Typically colonisation inevitably leads to settlements named after old ones, such as New York, New England, etc... which made me think that if one came from New York (perfectly likely) and decided to name a settlement do you reckon this would lead to a New New York or another place called New York?

Why would they change the name of an already advanced city? Mombasa got changed because it's in a third world nation that got super-upgraded.

Maybe it's called Newer York

Actually it's because the city is just off the coast of Old Mombassa and serves the same, if not a more complex purpose than Old Mombassa.

I wasn't talking about changing names, I was saying that there may be a settlement away from Earth that could be called New New York. Just as New York was named after York here in England, perhaps someone would name a settlement New New York after the Earth settlement of New York

There's a New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York.

You know what 343 should do?

Hold a fan art contest. Cities, countries, and places in our world with the future touch of Halo to them. Because I want to see New York Halo style.
