well, isnt the name Petrovice, a marker entity on the map? so theoretically, there must be a way to move it.  I mean, totally re-editing the entire nogova map just to add a new name is really impracticle

a really cruse way would be to use markers to black out the petrovice name, and add a marker with your new city name, but that way blows cuz it looks so nasty

Those names aren't just marker objects. They are coded into the config.bin file. If you make your own island addon, you have to write your own config.cpp, and that's where you define the names.
OFP Internals (http://ofpinternals.megaforums.ru) has a lot of excellent tutorials on this.
