It is worth noting that the Robert S. Smith listed is Robert Solwin Smith (searching on Robert S. Smith is likely to give a false result. Ambassador Smith normally used his full middle name; including in a Google search will give unambiguous results.

Support, on the presumption that the title of the office is, in fact, "Ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire". It's not about the country's name, but rather the title of the office used by the U.S. government. Rennell435 (talk) 10:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
His bio on the state dept. web site implies that his full title is "United States Ambassador to the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire". PowersT20:09, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean we have to title our article that way. The question is, what is the ambassador normally called in reliable sources? PowersT18:24, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

The name conflict has a curious history. According to legend, then-president (de facto president for life, but that's another story) Félix Houphouët Boigny was listening to some sporting results and was annoyed not to hear the Côte d'Ivoire result among the C's because the English country names were being used. He railed that nobody translated the name Sierre Leone into any other language, why should Ivory Coast not be called uniformly by its native French name? The USG and international organizations went along. But after Houphouet died there were fewer and fewer people who cared and "Ivory Coast" has been used increasingly, unofficially and semi-officially and for all I know officially as well.
