If Scotland achieves independence then Great Britain has to change its name to Fair-to-Middling Britain. It says so in the Mediocra Carta.
Yes, the *full name* of the United Kingdom would be in dispute But if you want to get really technical about it, they couldn't even say "UK" anymore -- Northern Ireland is no longer a kingdom, so subtracting Scotland would make the UK a union of only *one* kingdom, England

England + two non-kingdoms (the Principality of Wales and the... hotly debated question of what Northern Ireland actually is) is not a "United Kingdom" anymore, just a kingdom

The UK government confirmed in 2011 that Wales isn't a principality. Never has been one in any meaningful sense.
