While entering these I saw that I forgot one very important name:  {penSIlvenya’} Pennsylvania, the state in which Pittsburgh (and Philadelpha) is located!

Thanks for these.  I'll make sure they're entered into my notes.

Yes, some: Austin {'oStIn}, Las Vegas {laS veghaS}, Washington DC {wa'SIngtanDIySIy}. And then of course there are some American cities using German names.

I've listed those I know in the page of the Klingon Language Wiki:
