"cldr" is a unicode initiative to offer standardized country names. The official cldr name for that country is "Côte d’Ivoire". Obviously, that is one of the more contentious choices, since the organization discusses this specific case on their website:
http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/country-names
For what it's worth, the ISO org also uses the French version, even in their English codes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes
Currently, the "default" country names in countrycode
are "cldr". I think that's defensible, but I'm open to arguments.
If you want "Ivory Coast", you could use one of the other country name schemes supported by countrycode
. See:
library(tidyverse)
countrycode::codelist %>%
filter(iso2c == 'CI') %>%
select(matches('name'), -matches('cldr'))
