Alexander the Great wasn't super creative and was constantly naming cities and settlements after himself (Alexandria).
Some records claim he named/renamed upward of 70, but I'm reading now that the modern consensus is that that number is inflated and may be closer to 20-30, plus many named after allies or followers.
