Personally, I would never agree to change word "Turcja" to "Türkiye" in Polish. NEVER Difficult to explain it, but for me "Turcja" fits into Polish language much better than "Türkiye".
Maybe unless you agree to replace "Polonya Cumhuriyeti" with "Jeçpospolita Polska"
(if you are curious about how "Turcja" - Polish name for Türkiye - sounds, try it at at http://www.ivona.com/us/ with different Polish voices, or at http://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Turcja - click on speakers icon next to word "wymowa" (pronunciation) )

We call you Turkki. Ourselves we call Suomi, did anyone even know that?

I knew (or rather - I thought) that Suomi is "THE name" of Finnish language - but didn´t know that you call yourselves like this.

The country is Suomi also. The adjective meaning nationality and other things is suomalainen. Finn was probably some kind of a nickname in the beginning. We have a saying "A name doesn´t worsen a man if the man doesn´t worsen the name".

I personally support this action and understand its aim, since it is related only to English name of the country. I must admit I wouldn´t feel happy if someone called my country "hen" or "donkey", as for example
