Luvdapug, it is named as Los Angeles/Hollywood since it is a district of LA city, and that's how we're supposed to name districts, although this is now being debated since LA has so many districts and some are so famous.

 Part 1: The threat to neighborhoods - Los Angeles Times
Preservationists and other experts contend that the Daley administration is operating a two-track policy, saving high-profile buildings to polish downtown's image for tourists and conventioneers, but doing little to preserve the humble two-flats and the grand Queen Annes, the sacred churches and the bawdy taverns, that once were the stuff of everyday life.
Planning officials feared that too many neighborhood groups would push for their areas to be turned into districts, overwhelming the city's tiny landmarks staff, sources said.
The record of past demolitions suggests one reason for their lack of concern -- the Daley administration's failure to protect potential landmarks in the neighborhoods may telegraph that the amendment is unlikely to have much impact.
