A lot of these seem to be adoption of a existing alternative name in a different language as speakers of that language became politically dominant. Others just a shift of English names for places.  I don't think the Italians ever called Livorno Leghorn, for example, or Germans Köln Cologne.

or Germans Köln Cologne.

Well, I believe that Köln is a corrupted version of the Latin "Colonia" so perhaps the English is, for once, a little closer to the original.
