what do most mexicans call mexico city?

Most Mexicans call Mexico City by a few common names: "CDMX" (Ciudad de México), the official name since 2016; "D.F." or "Distrito Federal," the older term still used by many especially older residents; and simply "México" in everyday speech within the country. Other nicknames include "La Capital" (the capital), "Chilangos" (referring to the people and sometimes the city), and historically, "La Ciudad de los Palacios" (the City of Palaces) which highlights its rich architectural heritage. These names reflect the city's history, cultural identity, and residents' pride.
