Czech sounding names of cities

Admittedly, this list contains some names whose "Czech sound" may be considered dubious by some. Nevertheless, in all ambiguous cases I applied the benefit of the doubt, in order not to lose too many potential candidates. The towns with (*) have an actual counterpart in the Czech Republic (that I know of). The towns with (-------------) have too many representations and are listed separately below the main list. For towns with (***********), I don't know the coordinates.
