You're getting close (at least with the first few letters) with Cardiff... but it's only got a population of about 20000.

Different spelling, but UP has it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmarthen
The name became Carmarthen (Caer Fyrddin) in Welsh. Someone may have treated the name as meaning "Royal residence of a man called Myrddin".
Myrddin was latinised by Geoffrey of Monmouth to
Merlinus, which was then shortened.
Over to you (P)...

I seem to remember one being a type of pony...? And I think another's a kind of seabird.

pony (or any small equine animal) is right
one is a bird but not a seabird
the other is a bit more tricky

I'm still fuming. I actually meant the other one, but got confused when it came to typing it out.
Anyway, I'm not one to hold a grudge.
A male swan is definitely a cob, isn't it?

On the grounds that some of them look like corn-on-the-cob, sea cucumbers.

not rodents nor sea cucumbers but you are on the right lines with the other speculations.
