I have encountered a few people from that
country that called it Persia. I've also talked to people from
Vietnam who use the name Saigon for the city the communists named
Ho Chi Minh city. I guess it depends on the person and what they
like to call it.

once had a client with an interesting accent.. so I said "You
have an interesting accent... where are you from?" He
answered "Persia".. which was the first clue that things
weren't going to go well. Later I came to understand he was
from Iran which in itself isn't a bad thing. The next time my
inner voice speaks I'll listen!
