Do you actually know anyone who refers to the city so? What would be the point of accepting a name that hasn't been in use for virtually a century? If you don't know the name of the city, then you don't get it right - that's how quizzes normally work; you're not here to be spoon fed.

If you say "Biggest Cities in Europe" also use city data and not urban agglomeration. It is something different and confuses. If I didnt have the map I would not have had it complete because it is not cities but urban areas. Please fix that it gets very confusing

Kyiv is the correct romanization of Ukrainian name. Kiev is the name from Russian language used during Soviet occupation of Ukraine. Now as the Ukraine is the independent country Kyiv is the only name that should be used.
Djilas

Kiev is a valid English name, regardless of origin. E.g. Greeks disappeared from Naples long time ago and the Italian name still isn't used in English ... Never mind that "now as the Ukraine is the independent country" the Russian speakers haven't been expelled (yet...)

Name Kyiv is used by Ukrainian government (for over 20 years), Kyiv city authorities, United States Board on Geographic Names and some English-language media. The legendary ruler of Kyiv was called Kyi. One of the best Ukrainian football clubs is called "Dynamo Kyiv" not "Dynamo Kiev".

The quiz is called "15 Largest Cities",yet in the description we're asked to name "the 14 most populous urban areas" and the actual quiz requires us to guess only 13 cities. I understand that it's because of the debatable urban areas of the Ruhr and Cologne/Dusseldorf, but it still seems to be a little bit inconsistent. Maybe the description could be changed?

Why would you omit it? Most of Istanbul is on the European side. You may feel that it has more of a Southwestern Asian "vibe," but it is, in fact, more of a European city.

Well, Cologne and Dusseldorf are really close to each other, and the cities in the Ruhr area (mainly Essen and Dortmund) are pretty close together as well, meaning that some people confuse them as one single city, so they are combined and given as an answer to clear up any confusion.
