Obscurity should be no obstacle whatsoever to Civ city names; how many of us ever heard of Pasargadae or Dur-Kurigalzu or Xochicalco?
Wasn't meant as a dig at you, hope I didn't come across that way.
I'd be fairly close to pointing Pasagardae's site on a map, central Iran. Dur-Kurigalzu I've heard of, but less sure of, and isn't Xochicalco somewhere in Mexico (originally I was thinking the name had the same derivative of the Xoloitzcuintli, the bald dog, but I were wrong)?

How many dwarfs did you kill with it? And how long did it keep you in food?

I've absolutely no problems with that threat.
