According to the Bureau of Land Management website, the name of the dam built as part of the Boulder Canyon project was always "Hoover Dam". That was stated by the Secretary of the Interior on Sept 30, 1930 when construction started and the name was made official by an Act of Congress on February 14, 1931.
