Problems in new colony names

Hi, I am not being (too much) grammar police, but I find some awkwardness in several randomly-generated colony names.

New Novgorod
It's not technically wrong, only that "Novgorod" literally means "new city" in Russian. Imagine a city whose name is "New New York".
New Yaroslavi
Probably you meant "Yaroslavl" as there is no city named "Yaroslavi" in Russia to my knowledge.
New Xian
Probably you meant "Xi'an" as there is no city named "Xian" in China to my knowledge.
