Hmm...I believe the city of Saigon has been called Ho Chi Mihn City since
1976.

Twice Sullivan calls it Saigon....

There are official names, and there are names being used.

According to a couple of people who recently visited VN, in Ho Chi Minh
City, nobody there that they heard called it anything but Saigon.
