I was doing some research on Carthaginian female hairstyles, AS YOU DO, when it occured to me that Carthagena is a really stupid name for a city.

It was founded as a Carthagian colony named Carthage (Qart Hadasht). It was conquered by the Romans in the year of the Consulship of Verrucosus and Flaccus 209BCE, they called it "Carthago Nova". Carthago Nova is Latin for New Carthage.

You know why it wasn't called New Carthage to begin with? Because Qart Hadast means New City.

Carthagena is New New City.

Good job, Romans. GOOD JOB.

LOL don't worry I am sure eventually New York will get slurred into a word, and then we'll have New New York too. Though at least York is a place name...
