The Military Junta renamed Burma Myamar (the Union of Myamar in full). However the regime is seen as illegitimate by many Western governments, including the US. The acts of the Junta are not diplomatically recognized so as far as these countries are concerned the name change doesn't count so the name Burma continues to be used.

Myanmar. As the "Union of Burma", Myanmar achieved independence from the United Kingdom on 4 January 1948. It became the "Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma" on 4 January 1974, before reverting to the "Union of Burma" on 23 September 1988. On 18 June 1989, the State Law and Order Restoration Council adopted the name "Union of Myanmar".
