Normally, with most languages, no, but English is something of a special case, because it's a widely-used interchange language. Generally, stuff in the US will try to use a country's officially-requested UN English-language name.

Czechia quite recently adopted "Czechia" as an official English short name, and that saw people happily adopt it.
