Actually, "Mormon" is the nickname. The real name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has been since 1838. Prior to that it was known as The Church of Christ (the new name was chosen to avoid confusion with other churches of the same name).
Members of the Church prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS". "Mormon" is a nickname originally given to them by their enemies, mocking their belief in the Book of Mormon. The church has since accepted the name, but encourages use of the official name of the church as a way to demonstrate that their faith is in Jesus Christ, not Mormon.
