Some city etymologies are disputed, so where a river derivation is the most accepted etymology theory I've gone for that. Where it isn't the most accepted, I've added it as a bonus. There are currently 3 bonuses. If anyone has any suggestions to better the quiz please say!

According to the source, Ottawa is "Named after the Odawa people". I assume the river was named after the city, or after the same people. I'll add it as a bonus though.

The results were looking pretty low, so I added the continents as a hint so people can focus their guessing :-)

If I were you I'd even be more specific with continents (ie Eastern Europe, Western Africa, etc...). Also, Ljubljana is in Europe, not Africa.

Cheers for the suggestion, and the heads up on Slovenia. Dunno how that error got made!
