What are the names of the nine stars in the constellation columba?

"The" nine stars is wrong. Columba - or any constellation for that matter - contains billions upon billions of stars. That includes galaxies outside the Milky Way Galaxy. A constellation is really just an area of the sky. There are of course a few bright stars which we can easily see. I've put in a link which should answer the question, but it only names seven stars.
