Well, I'm a biologist and I will quite often use Latin species names for cities (yes, I'm also a nerd). I usually start a region by placing a port (a place needs a reason to exist), so my first city is quite often named Newport (or Founders). quote> I named my cities in my current regent after biologists (mostly); so I have a Dawkins connecting to Maynard Smith Hights and Margulis. But at least they are not Latin! Also, in the Fairfax region, second and third best cities were Newton and Dawson.
