Though the point still holds that no one owns the name, so any country can call anything whatever the hell they want as far as I'm aware.
Which happens a number of times.
One example I can think of is when the U.S. refused for a while to acknowledge the new name of Myanmar, and kept calling it Burma, due to not acknowledging the current government at the time.
There are a number of places in the Middle East which have different names (and I'm not talking about spelling differences due to transliteration interpretations) depending on which country is referring to it. Even some European towns run into this.
