One day it might become the United Kingdom of England and Wales.

No- UK always meant GB and (parts of) Ireland; Wales has been part of the Kingdom of England for far longer, nearly 500 years. Though the chances of Welsh secession would increase if NI and Scotland leave!

Nowadays however Wales is not normally thought of as part of England, so I suspect that if everyone but the two of them leave the Union they’ll have to come up with a name other than Kingdom of England.
