But other countries don't care if you use the English name. Cote D'Ivoire actively discourages it and therefore Ivory Coast isn't the English name.

What the hell do they care? 99% of native English language speakers are going to garble it.

They also don't speak English as a native language. If they so converse with someone in English they have to K ow 1,000s of English words, grammar and syntax ao you'd think high on the list would be how to say their country's name in a new language they're learning.

To simsy: But we're not. As other commenters have pointed out, we use Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, San Marino, El Salvador, Montenegro, Ecuador, etc., why so much resistance to using the name "Cote d'Ivoire" that that country prefers? Is it because it is an African country?

It would make sense for the English translation to be the English name for a country. It's not like we call Germany Deutschland or Poland Polska. They don't have to accept any spelling, and we aren't dictating what's right, it's merely a translation that allows English people to communicate more efficiently.

That is silly. Most countries call other nations by some version of the name in their own language. Surely, you won't insist that Mexicans or other Latin Americans call the United States by its English name. Eustados Unidos will do. Some should be true of the Ivory Coast for English speakers.

That is the French name.

This is factually incorrect. The official name of Ireland is "Ireland". It is frequently referred to as "The Republic of Ireland" for clarity but that's a description, not the official name.

This is somewhat analogous to how the city of New York is often referred to as "New York City" to distinguish it from the state of New York. However the official name of the city is "New York", not "New York City".

Whichever way you wash it, Ivory Coast should be allowed in this quiz.

Under the ENGLISH NAME list it is given as Ivory Coast ........ Under DOMESTIC NAMES it is given as ...... Côte d'Ivoire — République de Côte d'Ivoire. As this quiz is in ENGLISH it should be IVORY COAST.

I do understand the reasoning behind the argument that we should all say the names the way the country themselves says them, but that can be tricky, especialy when the two countries in question don't use the same alphabet or all of the same sounds in their languages.

It's not hard, in this case, to call it Cote d'Ivoire, but not all native-language names transliterate so easily.

I do grant also that some English-language names for places are quite different than what the place calls itself in its native language. But there can be a lot of good reasons for that.

One great example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Germany

It took both of us forever to think of Iran and Iraq, even though here in the states they're both in the news constantly.

I've been meaning to for a long time. It all started when Cape Verde decided that their name was going to be "Cabo Verde" in all languages. This forced me to reconsider our naming choices. In almost all cases, we use the colloquial name instead of the official name. Thus "China", not "People's Republic of China", etc... Using Ivory Coast is more consistent with this.

Isn't there another country whose name starts with "E" in its native language...Eire. (Naturally English is also an 'official' language of that country, but it's fun to think about.)

Ivory Coast does not start with 'c' in its native language; it starts with 'c' in its official language. The native language of most people in Ivory Coast is not French.

It really is funny to see how many people REFUSE to say "Cote d'Ivoire" instead of "Ivory Coast" as though it's some sort of matter of principle, and yet don't complain about Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Ecuador, El Salvador, Notre Dame....

This is factually incorrect. The official name of the country, in English, is "Ireland". It's in our constitution.

So Ireland is the name of the country and also the name of the island.

When people need to distinguish between the country and the island, they will use the descriptors "Republic of Ireland" or "island of Ireland". This is somewhat analogous to how people say "Washington state" when they need to distinguish from Washington DC, even though the name of the state is "Washington", not "Washington state".

Spent a minute, or so trying to figure out what country I was missing when I noticed the line in the instructions that stated 'One of these countries has a name that starts with a C in French'. Realised then Cote D'Ivoire must have been changed in this quiz series to Ivory Coast.

Dear everyone who is mad about the Ivory Coast / Cote D'ivorie:

1. Do you live in the country?

2. Did you read the quiz description? If not, please do!

3. Have you read the first string of comments?

4. Have you been on any other quiz with Ivory Coast?

If so, feel free to complain.

Just know it won't be acknowledged.
