No one ever says "hanukia menora' it's either 'hanukia' referring to the menora used specifically during hanukah or 'menora' which is a bit more genetic, but without further explanation it's usually referring to the one with 7 candles.
I've never heard of hannukiah menora, either. I've either heard, menora (most common), hannukah menora (least common), or hannukiah (only heard in specific situations).
Hanukia is pretty specifically a menora for hanukia, so it makes sense to be used in specific situations. Menora refers to replicas/modern day versions of the 7-candle light used in the old temple in Israel. The hanukia was based on it, adding enough for all nights.
I think your autocorrect keeps changing hannukah to hannukiah, which caused my misunderstanding haha
Looks like it changed it once, my bad
No one's bad, mate. We all get caught by autocorrect.
