It's was called the emergency runway, the northern runway and other words to soothe local pressure groups.
So what would it have been called otherwise ?

There's a parallel taxiway between the two which an aircraft famously used one night.
No, the parallel taxiway (on which at least two aircraft have landed) is north of the northern runway.
