I refuse to believe that all nine of those city names are more common than Springfield.

Seriously, Centerville?

Additionally, everyone knows there's three Salems: the witch trial one, the other one, and the cat.

    Yeah, I was looking at that one. I think they're specifically looking at towns, not cities. I can't find anything that gives a concrete distinction between the two labels. It seems that the rules vary by region, and the designation is kind of arbitrary.

    However, I did find a list of common city names in the US.

    1. Washington
    2. Springfield
    3. Franklin
    4. Greenville
    5. Bristol
    6. Clinton
    7. Fairview
    8. Salem
    9. Madison
    10. Georgetown

    You can't include Georgetown as no.10.

    The list is explicitly 9 most common town names. Maybe it's due to being at the bottom of the page, but nevertheless, the array can only hold 9 values.
