Think of it through contexts and identities. They are members of the Rainbooms when in a band context such as Rainbow Rocks. But they are members of the Wondercolts when competing for their school as athletes. It would be inappropriate to call them the Rainbooms when competing in the Friendship Games and vice versa. Similarly, it would also be inappropriate to call them either in the first Equestria Girls movie as the Rainbooms were not yet formed, nor were they competing for their school as Wondercolts. Take the example of Superman and Clark Kent. It is the same character, just with different identities depending on what story context he finds himself in (either as a superhero or a journalist). Would you call a mild-mannered news reporter Superman? Names like the "Equestria Girls" or "Mane 7" are used more often because they are more generic.
