from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col…
"Advocates for naming the United States "Columbia" continued to press for the name even after the United States Constitution was ratified. According to George R. Stewart, the name "United States" was criticized for being too long, inaccurate, and unpoetic, and that the Constitutional Convention of 1787 would have been the ideal time to change it. "
