If Northern Ireland decided to leave the UK and join Ireland, I would not suddenly find myself living in "Great Britain". I'd then be in "The United Kingdom of Great Britain".
Only if the Scots decided to go their own way would I no longer be living in the UK. Then I'd probably be living in "The Kingdom of England and Wales". Until and unless the Welsh wanted independence too...
