It was never officially changed from the Phillies, which has been there official name since 1883. Some baseball writers in the 1940s began to call them the "Blue Jays" because of their blue caps, but that nickname was not recognized by the team, the National League, or Major League Baseball. The name of the team that lost on 1883 April 30 has remained the same till their loss on 2011 October 7.
The merger was in 1943 and the team was named Phil-Pitt. The nickname was "The Steagles".
Since Abner Doubleday had nothing whatsoever to do with the development of baseball, this question is meaningless. There is no team name because there was no team.
