Technically, the 1998 incarnation's legal name is Godzilla, but when referring to the creature on the whole "Zilla" is acceptable. No one really cares either way (except some diehard fans of the 1998 film), it's just that the 1998 incarnation specifically never had Godzilla's trademark removed, and the "Zilla" trademark is only applied since 2004.
