For Philadelphia (from Wikipedia):

Places
United States
* Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, a county coterminous with the city of
the same name
> * Center City, Philadelphia , the old city of Philadelphia before
> consolidation with the county
* Philadelphia, Illinois
* Philadelphia, Indiana
* Philadelphia, Mississippi
* Philadelphia (town), New York
> * Philadelphia (village), New York
* Philadelphia, Tennessee

But for Philly (as a place), only one:

Philly is a common informal name for Philadelphia, a major city in
Pennsylvania, United States.

But that only one is listed may be a flaw in Wikipedia.
