However, I have retitle for this issue.
I doubt it will inspire the levels of objection to the various names for Taiwan :-), but, despite the misleading and historical two-letter country code, the full name of the country is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". "United Kingdom" is an acceptable short form. "Great Britain" is inaccurate - it describes only one part of the country - and it looks sloppy to people like me who grew up in Northern Ireland.
