Thanks, Hep Your sentence would make more sense with a "a" added Hepburngeng, in other words: "I know Melbourne is a city's name both in Australia and USA" ..and as Nona implies, we had Melbournes in England long before Australia or the USA!  The best known one is probably in the middle of England near a city called Derby.
