Help with team nicknames

I'm working on an new OOTP fictional league to play with myself. The league will have 36 teams. All them based in North America, and divided in two sub leagues (NA League North and NA League South). Each subleague is divided in 3 divisions of teams each, East, West and Central. I selected 36 big cities and placed them geographically sorted in the proper sub league and division.

As my knowledge of American history/tradition is limited, i would like to ask you guys for two things:

1) Are the cities a good selection based on city size and location? And the sub-leagues/divisions?

2) Can you please guys come with a nickname for each team based on it's city history, tradition, industry, population, etc? OOTP can generate random ones, but i would prefer those nicknames to represent something related to that city and not already used in the MLB, NBA or NFL.

Here is the league structure:

Code:
NALN East	NALS East
Philadelphia	Miami
Boston		Tampa
New York	Jacksonville
Washington	Atlanta
Baltimore	Charlotte
Cleveland	Columbus
	
NALN Central	NALS Central
Minneapolis	Memphis
Chicago		San Antonio
Kansas City	Oklahoma City
Milwaukee	Dallas
Detroit		Houston
Denver		Tulsa	
	
NALN West	NALS West
Seattle		Los Angeles
Portland	San Diego
San Francisco	Las Vegas
Oakland		El Paso
Sacramento	Phoenix
Toronto		Tucson
Tacoma		San Jose
Thanks in advance.
