what a disconcertment...
wiki says:
The local Pitjantjatjara people call the landmark Uluru .....
In 1993, a dual naming policy was adopted that allowed official names that consist of both the traditional Aboriginal name and the English name. On 15 December 1993, it was renamed "Ayers Rock/Uluru" and became the first officially dual-named feature in the Northern Territory. The order of the dual names was officially reversed to "Uluru/Ayers Rock" on 6 November 2002 following a request from the Regional Tourism Association in Alice Springs.

I'm not a (copy and paste ) Pitjantjatjara - man, and I name it Ayers rock....
