Agreed.

And yes, capitals can change, good point.  I was thinking about the case of a new zone that needs a name.  For that, I would start with the capital if it's in the zone, otherwise the biggest or best known town.  Then, once the name has been assigned, leave it alone.

Exception: if the town that was picked changes its own name (e.g., Calcutta).
