It's only Londonderry to a minority of loyalists who aren't actually even from the place. Everyone else calls it Derry, even the loyalists in Derry.

I think it's actually a rule in BBC articles that the first mention has to be "Londonderry" and thereafter "Derry".



Thanks; that's somewhat… ironic, I think is the correct word?
