This is tricky, the first orbiter OV-101 was originally scheduled to be named the Constitution, however after massive public pressure, the White House changed it's name to the Enterprise in honor of Star Trek's starship Enterprise. So the second name of the first shuttle was Enterprise. It was unveiled September 17, 1976
and tested successfully in landing and glide manuvers.
The actual second orbiter was the fully functioning, two-crew OV-99 Columbia. It was delivered to Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 25 March 1979.
