Hi King of Kings,
You can also enable a function to change city names mid-campaign in your "preferences.txt" file.

This function allows you to double click on a settlement's name on its information screen, and, from there, type a new name in its place. This change is not permanent, and only exists in the campaign you are currently playing.

You can usually find the function, in either:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\preferences\preferences.txt"
should you have a standard version of R:TW - not Gold, or:
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\preferences\preferences.txt"
should you have the Gold edition.

For BI, which works in the same way, you will find the file in either:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\BI\preferences\preferences.txt"
should you have a standard version of R:TW - not Gold, or:
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\BI\preferences\preferences.txt"
should you have the Gold edition.

If you selected a custom location on installation, you may have to use to search function to find the file.

Once the file is opened, locate the line which states:
"EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES: FALSE"

Change it to:
"EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES: TRUE"

I hope this is useful, cheers!

BTW, some modifications, notably ones with background scripts, may endure errors should you change a settlements name. If this is the case, exercise caution when utilising it.
