1) Most people in Valley Village still consider the neighborhood North 
Hollywood, as opposed to the silly West Hills-Canoga Park wars.  Its a 
distinct neighborhood within the North Hollywood district such as NoHo, Valley 
Plaza, etc.

2) The names would be the names of the city, such as Los Angeles is the name 
of the current city.  Even with the City of Van Nuys, for example, you could 
have numerous districts and neighborhoods such as Sherman Oaks, Sherman 
Village, College Park, etc.  

3) By having distinct neighborhoods within a district or community (as is done 
back east) you can foster more ownership of a given neighborhood within a city.

I had thought of Owensmouth, but it doesn't sound sexy.  We did keep 
Runnymede, especially appropriate with the current popularity of Jane Austen 
novels, Merchant-Ivory movies.
