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.
