Ditto on the requirement of "new"; it's already in the question, why the need to repeat it? - Also, you refused to accept New Holland for the original name of Australia.
My interesting fact for this quiz was 'Naples is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Its original name was Neápolis, meaning "new city".' Interesting indeed.
Newton MA isn't named for a scientist. It may have the same name as one, but it literally derives from "Newe Towne" (which was what it was originally called before it became Newtown, and finally Newton).
Can I suggest rewording that clue to indicate, perhaps, that it is a "Boston suburb that is the namesake of a scientist"? 😊
It's a city!
