lil help?

working on a list of toponyms which originate as proper place names but then come to have a more generalized meaning. examples would include:

Babel Mecca hell seltzer Siberia Boeotian champagne solecism Chautauqua Waterloo Pax Romana Watergate Gibraltar Timbuktu El Dorado

any other good ones?
