You still don't get it. The only issue is 'is a name widely used in English?' Those names are now widely used. If Ivory Coast was ever to become widely known to English users as Cote d'Ivoire rather than Ivory Coast...
I'm having difficulty with the notion that the name "Ivory Coast" could possibly be described as "widely used" or "widely known".
With a straight face, that is.
