But the battles are only called the (First or Second) Battle of Bull Run 
by the NORTH, which lost them.

The SOUTHerners who won the battle, as well as the now-local residents of 
Northern Virginia, refer to them as the Battle of (First or Second) 
Manassas.

To the locals, Bull Run is simply a local creek which happens to run 
through the battle field.
