Using the quotes correctly:
The region Ivory Coast, and then the country, was originally known in English as "Ivory Coast". In October 1985, the government officially asked that the name of the country be changed to Côte d'Ivoire in all languages. Despite the Ivorian government's request, the English translation "Ivory Coast “sometimes "the Ivory Coast" is still frequently used in English. The BBC usually uses "Ivory Coast" both in news reports and on its page about the country. The Guardian newspaper's style guide says: "Ivory Coast, not 'The Ivory Coast' or 'Côte d'Ivoire'; its nationals are Ivorians. Many governments use "Côte d'Ivoire" for diplomatic reasons. The English country name registered with the United Nations and used by ISO 3166 is "Côte d'Ivoire".
