The tiles are the tiles. You could prepare overlays to cover the
details, I suppose: you would need one per zoom level and to remove
one and add another when the zoom level changes. And then make sure
that you revisit the overlays when the tiles are updated as the labels
may change place.

Actually, since those from the Republic will only use "Derry" and the
UK will use "Londonderry", Google seem to be keeping both camps
onside. What is unusual is that generally only the name as specified
within the country concerned is used -- Munich appears as Munchen. So
in adding "Derry" Google is not following its own rules, presumably in
order to keep people in the Republic happy.

in the UK but not particularly bothered about which name is used
