There is nothing new under the Sun

So wrote the author of Ecclesiastes three thousand years ago.

Oh, yeah? I can think of a few:

Nee York
Nieuw Amsterdam (original name of New York)
New Jersey
New Hampshire
New Mexico
New Orleans, Louisiana
New South Wales, Australia
New Brunswick, Canada
New London, Connecticut
New Smyrna Beach, Florida
New Paltz, New York
New Albany, Indiana
New Bern, North Carolina
New Rochelle, New York
New Braunfels, Texas
New Port Richey, Florida
New Delhi, India
New England (six states in northeastern U.S.)
New Guinea
Newfoundland, Canada
New Zealand
Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Newburgh, New York
Newport, Rhode Island
Nova Scotia (New Scotland), Canada

and let us not forget the New Testament and the New Christy Minstrels. There are probably lots of others too, but these are enough to prove my point.

Maybe the writer of Ecclesiastes was just having a bad day.
