Where to get city names?

Not sure where I should post this, so I figured this would be safe

I have looked over the City list in the game and I find it lacking. That said, is there a site or sites that you guys use to come up with city names for your fictional leagues?

This is really giving me trouble. I want some "lesser" cities, but not minor league cities, to possibly include Canadian cities.

Any help would be appreciated.

The various census bureaus' for the countries you want is one potential starting point.

This is the website I use for finding cities. Just click on the state you want, and voila. Great website.
