It's part of the art of making yourself. I'm building a data-base for a dictionary. There are two reasons for doing place-names. Firstly, place-names are the language of the body of the earth. It's how we name and inscribe the earth.
Place names reflect people's ideas and experience about the city and nature.
They locate people in a particular place. They create a habitus. Secondly, place-names tell you a great deal about multilingualism. That bit of furniture in this room is from Niiza in Saitama Prefecture. It's a Korean place-name.
