"Las Malvinas" tensions... FTFY
Basically no one who lives there calls it that. I'm pretty sure they get to decide.
Also when the topic comes up for vote, there is an exceptional majority for remaining an overseas territory

On a turnout of 92%, 99.8% voted to remain a British territory, with only three votes against.[5] Had the islanders rejected the continuation of their current status, a second referendum on possible alternatives would have been held.[4] Brad Smith, the leader of the international observer group, announced that the referendum was free and fair and executed in accordance with international standards and international laws.
Apparently certain fans of Argentina don't care what the people who actually live on the island think.
