Pfffft - in Europe many don’t know what Baton Rouge is (to tell you the truth, neither do I) - so I just say New Orleans - they know that - and I’m not technically lying since I grew up there

Yep same here. I tell 'em in BR, My Mayor is a lady and has a Hyphenated 2 part Last Name, just like Atlanta's mayor's or any other big city.

Normally I tell them Baton Rouge, but if I'm acting like a jerk I tell them St. George.

When I lived in New Orleans I would tell them my New Orleans neighborhood and add it wasn’t one of the many bad parts.

You're not going to tell those heathens where you're actually from, are you? They could follow you home like a puppy dog, but they won't be near as cool.
