I guess I figured it would make it easier to learn the language and it seems French is the default language for place names in general. As for neighbor over neighbour. Where I grew up it seemed pretentious to use the British/French spellings as opposed to the red-blooded American spellings. I'm not sure if I'll make that transition. Though I do write theatre instead of theater. I’ve gotten into the habit of using the French spellings for places.
