Is the word Mormon slang?
Depending on how it is used, it can be. There is no such thing as the "Mormon" church. The real name of the Church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church members are supposed to be called "Latter-day Saints", not Mormons. However, the nickname Mormon was given to them over 100 years ago and has since been adopted into everyday use. The Church itself has began to use that title in it's public relation efforts (such as in it's informational website, Mormon.org) because they realize that is the common term. Since the proper term is "Latter-day Saint", not "Mormon", you could classify it as a slang. However, Mormon is also a person. When a member of the Church refers to Mormon, they are referring to an ancient prophet who compiled the Book of Mormon. In that way, it is not a slang, it is a proper name.

I don't know what a maronite church is, but the real question is "Why would they?" If they were marrying a maronite, then sure, they could marry in a maronite church. But if two Mormons (Man and Woman, for clarification) they would get married in a Mormon Temple or a Mormon meeting house.

You know that Mormon was the name of a prophet historian and the name was used in the book Book of Mormon so when did the religion start to prefer the term LDS?
Yes it is true that Mormon is the name of a prophet and historian in the Book of Mormon, but members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have always preferred to be called "Latter Day Saints" since the beginning.Much of this comes from this verse:"And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called on my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon the Gospel." -Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 27:8Calling them "Mormons" gives the false illusion that they worship Mormon, not Jesus Christ, and also that they only use the Book of Mormon, when they also use the Bible.Also, the nickname "Mormon" was given to Church Members by enemies of the Church, so you can understand why they aren't thrilled about using it.Rather than make a big deal about it, they have largely accepted the nickname, although many members find it desrespectful or offensive.
What is the new name that Mormons are called?
Actually, "Mormon" is the new name. The official name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This has been their official name since 1838. Prior to this they were sometimes known as the Church of Christ (1830-1834) or as the Church of Latter Day Saints (1834-1838). The title "Mormon" was a nickname given to them by their enemies, mocking them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Mormons have since embraced the name and accept "Mormon" as an appropriate, although informal, nickname. However, Mormons still prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS" rather than "Mormon". Generally, it is acceptable to call the followers "Mormons", but it is not appropriate to call the church the "Mormon Church".
