Currently, if I search timezones for Boston, and select Boston in the results, the Time & Date page will display "America/New York" as the timezone. Which is not super user friendly.
It gets worse once we land translation support for geonames [1]. The user might pick 波士顿 and we'll still show "America/New York", which they might not even be able to read.
On the desktop, we save the city name the user picks alongside the ISO timezone name. Maybe even in the same field? I don't remember how we do it. But we should just do that.

On the desktop, we save the city name the user picks alongside the ISO timezone name. Specifically, it's stored in gsettings: "com.canonical.indicator.datetime" schema, key "timezone-name". It's stored like "TIMEZONE NAME" -- that is, the ISO timezone followed by one space, followed by the user visible name for that timezone.
Indicator-datetime and unity-control-center already support that key. We should too (I guess we should set it in addition to calling org.freedesktop.timedate1.SetTimezone). It might mean extending the time-date plugin's SetTimezone call to take two arguments -- the timezone and the name.
This change should be coordinated with unity8, which also sets the timezone on the first device boot.
