There is no city called Constantinople unfortunately, it has been named (and called) Istanbul for the past 500 years or so

That's not true, incidentally. Officially it continued to be called Constantinople (Konstantiniyye) long after it was captured by the Turks. And informally it was called Istanbul long before it was captured.
