République d'Haïti is the official name. Do you call Sweden Sverige or China Zhōngguó?

The original name derives from Ayiti.

I habitually refer to it as Hayti due to my BIL.

(Maybe you should let these organizations know you have a problem with how they spell the name of their country.)

I refer to Denmark as Danmark but that's just me ... and I don't trust those Vikings with their evil Gammel Dansk either bucko!

I guess it's time to start to learn how to spell Rìoghachd na h-Alba and Poblacht na hÉireann and all the complicated official and properly-spelled names for every nation in the world.

This sounds a lot like Humber's reasoning. Like "even though you proved I'm wrong, I know that, in a world that works differently, I'm right. And someday, you'll all have to bend your knee to me, as I stand at the right hand of the Father."
