I was born and brought up in that city. And I speak the local language which btw is not Hindi. Hindi's the national language. In the local language the city's always been Mumbai. The local language is the official language of the state and is spoken by majority of the people living in it. So to set the records straight...it is MUMBAI

Sorry if I bored you...
