Though I don't want to discuss about opinion on labeling OSM Iran
community, I have to add that I personally think that Caspian Sea
situation is completely different from Persian Gulf.

‌I can assure you that fanatics' issue with names is that the other name
being shown, not "their" name not being shown. While "A/B" is a good
option, I think removing "name" tag can have a better result.
