I live in Ireland or, if you want to be pedantic, Éire. The other name was one invented by the UK government because they didn't want to piss off the racist little statelet in the six counties not granted their rightful independence in 1921 and only abandoned in 1999 when they finally had to admit that the country could use its own name.
