Trigger:

if(trigger.isInsert && trigger.isAfter){
        CheckCityAccountHandler.insertContact(trigger.new);
    }
}

Trigger-Handler: 
public class CheckCityAccountHandler {
    public static void insertContact(List<Account> accList){
        if(accList.size()>0){
            try{
                List<Contact> conList=new List<Contact>();
                List<City__c> cityList=new List<City__c>();
                cityList=[SELECT Id,Name FROM City__c LIMIT 10000];
                Set<String> citySet=new Set<String>();
                for(City__c cty:cityList){
                    citySet.add(cty.Name);
                }
                for(Account acc:accList){
                    if(CitySet.Contains(acc.City__c)){
              Contact con = New Contact();
              con.LastName ='acc.Name'+'City';
              con.AccountId = acc.Id;
              conList.add(con);
          }
                }
                Insert conList ;
            }
            catch(Exception ex){
                system.debug('LineNo->'+ex.getLineNumber()+'msg->'+ex.getMessage());
            }

}

You can achieve this with the help of Trigger and SOQL. Take the City name in a Set, do a Soql on City object to search City record with same name if Soql finds the result create a contact.

Hi Sai,
Try the following trigger and its handler class it may helpful for you and it works in my Org :
Trigger: 
trigger CheckCityContact on Contact (before insert) {
    if(trigger.isInsert && trigger.isBefore){
        CheckCityContactHandler.insertContact(trigger.new);
    }
}

TriggerHandler: 
public class CheckCityContactHandler {
    public static void insertContact(List<Contact> conList){
        if(conList.size()>0){
            try{
                List<Account> accList=new List<Account>();
                List<City__c> cityList=new List<City__c>();
                cityList=[SELECT Id,Name FROM City__c LIMIT 10000];
                Boolean flag=false;
                for(Contact con:conList){
                    if(con.AccountId!=null){
                        accList=[SELECT Id,City__c    FROM Account WHERE Id =:con.AccountId LIMIT 1];
                    }
                    if(cityList.size()>0 && accList.size()>0){
                    for(City__c cty:cityList){
                        if(cty.Name==accList[0].City__c){
                            flag=true;
                        }
                    }
                }
                if(flag==false){
                    con.addError('Contact related Account city is not matched in City Object Name.');
                }
                }
            }
            catch(Exception ex){
                system.debug('LineNo->'+ex.getLineNumber()+'msg->'+ex.getMessage());
            }
        }
    }
