In Real Life, cities and locations are named after historic events or persons, landmarks, local folklore or other things, that explain their names somewhat. These names change and evolve over the time and are a direct result of the history revolving around them.
In fiction, however, such immense back stories rarely exist, so the writers have to make up names on the spot, and quite often these names lack a certain creativity.
Instead of genuine, unique names, we get locations with names consisting of just a noun and a variation of City behind them, that are named after the species that inhabits it, after nearby landmarks, or the main purpose they serve. In other words, Exactly What It Says On The Sign.
Sometimes, the writer tries to conceal it a bit, with names that are puns on plot points or characters, or the translation thereof in a foreign language.
This also can cover celestial bodies. Related to Premiseville and Theme Naming.
Note: Not every city that has a name ending in City is an example of this trope. Even if the name appears to be unimaginative, if it is justified or explained by the backstory, it is not an example of this trope.

Bleak Expectations: Poverty St. Mary (in the constituency of Dreadfulness North). As might be surmised, most of the inhabitants are incredibly poor, due to over-taxation. The local reverend tries to keep them alive via holding Holy Eucharist eighty-seven times a day, but it's sort of failed completely, to the extent that he and his daughter are the only people there still alive.
And Moory-on-the-Moor, by the Moory-Mory-More Moor. It's a moor.

Lampshaded in an episode of Grimm, but with a Real Life city this time, when Sean Renard's half-brother Eric visits Portland. He concludes that "Portland" must be an unimaginative Line-of-Sight Name.

Similar to the French Disney comic example, in Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong's home island is named Donkey Kong Island. It has also gone by the names Kongoland (in Captain N: The Game Master), Kongo Bongo Island (in the DKC cartoon), and Kong Isle (in the Donkey Kong 64 manual).

My Little Pony:
My Little Pony (G3) and the G3.5 specials take place in Ponyville, a town populated by anthropomorphic ponies.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has its own version of Ponyville. Series creator Lauren Faust originally wanted it to take place in Fillydelphia, but she got the Executive Veto on that idea. Fillydelphia and similarly equine-pun-on-real-place names note Baltimare, Manehatten, Las Pegasus, Canterlot and Trottenham for example are the rule. For bonus points, Ponyville is located in the kingdom of Equestria.
Ponyville dates back to G1's My Little Pony Tales.

Fullmetal Alchemist. Most of the action happens in Central City and East City, and it also has a North, West and South City. Justified with Brotherhood and the manga since the country is run by an inhuman creature that doesn't really care too much about the country itself.

Our Miss Brooks Madison High School of the eponymous City of Madison has, as its main rival Clay City High School of the eponymous Clay City. Clay City is first introduced in the early radio Road Trip episode "Game at Clay City". Notably, in the second television season opener, "Clay City Chaperone", Miss Brooks is chaperone in Clay City for the Madison cheerleaders attending the big football game between the two arch-rivals. In these episodes, its never explained who or what clay is. It may well be the soil. The trope, however, is averted in some later episodes where the rival high school is named Henry Clay High.

Something similar happened to any town or village with "upon-Thames" in its name, the River Thames having got its name partly from the old Celtic word for "river". Legend has it that Roman travelling merchants heard locals refer to the river by the word "thame" and failed to realise that it wasn't the local name for that specific river until quite a while laternote and yes, this was almost certainly the inspiration for a joke in The Light Fantastic. After the island became a part of the Roman Empire, they formally renamed it the River Isis, at least partly out of sheer embarrassment, and a few centuries of linguistic drift later we got "Thames".

In The Order of the Stick, nearly everything is named in this fashion deliberately, as part of its pastiche of the Standard Fantasy Setting.

Steven Universe is set in Beach City, which is on the beach, though it's nowhere near large enough to be a city. A vaguely described disaster happened in a nearby placed called Ocean Town.

Disney Mouse and Duck Comics:
Duckburg, Calisota in the Disney Ducks Comic Universe, originally named so by Carl Barks.
Mickey Mouse Comic Universe: In the 1990s, Mickey Mouse's hometown was given the name Mouseton and has managed to keep that name since then (except when Mickey apparently lives in Duckburg).
In the French comics, the cities are named after the main characters (Mickeyville, Donaldville), which is inexplicable in-story.
Darkwing Duck lives in St. Canard (French for "duck").

The Elder Scrolls:
Morrowind:
The mining city of Caldera is built in/near a volcanic caldera.
Vivec is the Egopolis of the Tribunal deity Vivec, who resides in the city's temple.
Balmora and Sadrith Mora are this in-universe, if you are familiar with the Dunmeri language or its predecessor language, Aldmeris. "Bal" means "stone", while "Sadrith" means "mushroom". Mora means "forest". They mean, fittingly, "Stone Forest" and "Mushroom Forest", respectively.
Oblivion has the Imperial City, capital of the Empire. Even before the empires of men, it was the seat of the Ayleid Empire.
Happens all over the place in Skyrim. Winterhold (it's a hold where it is really cold), Riverwood (built on a river running through the woods), Whiterun (built on running river), Dragon's Bridge (built around an ancient bridge with dragon decor)...the list goes on...
Arena had tons of randomly generated names, but some towns got more deliberate ones (and others by chance got descriptive names). The one closest to this trope, at least that haven't been mentioned above in updated form or not, is probably Firewatch — one of the closest mainland towns to the great volcano of Dagoth-Ur.

In Love and Capes the cities are based on real ones and named after common traits. Deco City is Chicago for the many Art Deco buildings that are there. Chronopolis is New York City, for its ubiquitous clock towers. Amazonia has her home in Liberty City, which is probably Washington, D.C. (since that's Wonder Woman's home in America).

Quite a few towns in America are named in this manner, due to names often literally being invented within the past 200 years using Line-Of-Sight Naming while filling out the paperwork to formally register a settlement. Hence places like Stone City, Iowa (founded as a company town for a quarry) and Farmington, Arkansas (at naming, an agricultural community).
"State" Cities are also common in America: there's Indianapolis, capital of Indiana; Oklahoma City, capital of Oklahoma, and numerous others. This can lead to some strangeness, however: the larger of the two municipalities named Kansas City is mostly in Missourinote the city straddles the state's border with Kansas and both the city and the state are named after the Kansas River. and a third Kansas City is a small town in Oregon, apparently named by settlers proud to be from Kansas.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has its own version of Ponyville. Series creator Lauren Faust originally wanted it to take place in Fillydelphia, but she got the Executive Veto on that idea. Fillydelphia and similarly equine-pun-on-real-place names note Baltimare, Manehatten, Las Pegasus, Canterlot and Trottenham for example are the rule. For bonus points, Ponyville is located in the kingdom of Equestria.

The older games have ACDC Town and Elec Town. They're part of Den City (Den meaning electric in japanese), itself part of the nation of Electopia.

In The Emperor of Nihon-Ja protagonists encounter a village in the woods named "village in the woods" in nihonese, and one that translates "lakeside village" - guess what's nearby. Emperor implies that it's a naming convention for most of smaller settlements in Nihon-Ja.

The Matrix: Supplemental material reveal that the entire action of the Trilogy is taking place in a certain "Mega City". Also, when Neo is being interrogated by Agent Smith, his birthplace is listed as "Capitol City". Possibly justified by the Matrix being, you know, not real and all.

Octopath Traveler: Pretty much every other town name follows this trope: we have Sunshade (a desert town with a shady secret), Flamesgrace (the birthplace of the Church of the Sacred Flame), Noblecourt (a city inhabited mostly by wealthy aristocrats and other blueblood types) just to name a few.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: Castle Oblivion. When playing the game, you might assume the castle's name is derived from the way it takes away your memories, but that's actually Namine's doing and the Castle existed long before she did.
