As a matter of fact, in terms of land area, Davao is one of the world's largest cities. |

I'm just writing a report for work. It is about the repairs to a transmission line to Priedor (Priador), it is in another country but still.
And Westgate is a name of a shopping centre here. |

| Best I can do is my hometown (Darien) is the name of the primary antagonist of the Maztica trilogy. |

Haha...same here. The shopping center and the neighborhood I live in are both named Westgate. My gaming group was originally called 'The Wizards of Westgate', so it was a kick for all of us seeing a Realms city with the same name. |

| Vaasa is a city in Finland (named after a ruling dynasty in 16th- and 17th-century Sweden, so it's also several people). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I regularly visit a town here called 'Waterdeep'
I kid, I kid! That would be very cool though. I'll chime in to say that Westgate is all over the place here in the DC area. |

I live near a community named Westgate, and have visited Westgates in Edmonton and Winnipeg.
[Edit]
I've also driven through Tilverton, Ontario, some years ago. |
