Personally I don't care for it is or isn't a native name, but I do dislike British Columbia. I can live with it but if it were out up to a vote to change it I would say go for it.

I hate that it's:

So long
Two words
Refers to other geographical places

I would much prefer a simpler name like Alberta or Manitoba. Fuck Saskatchewan though I need to pull out the dictionary for that one half the time.
