@liilliil @midgephoto no, it's not the same name. Just as "Kiev" is not the same name as "Kyiv".
If a person tells you they prefer to be referred to in a particular way, instead of the way you referred to them before, you apologize and comply.
Same with a polity that tells you that they prefer to use their own spelling of their capital city, rather than that of their invader and colonizer.
