The word is out for One Piecefans. The name "Gum-Gum Fruit" was made up by the World Government to hide the true nature of the Devil Fruit. Its actual classification is the Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika, a Mythical Zoan Fruit with the powers of the Sun God it's named after. It's only a matter of time before the other characters in the story find out.
While the audience has known about the Gum-Gum Fruit's true nature for a while now, the Straw Hat Pirates are only just figuring it out. They've even learned that the term "Gum-Gum Fruit" might be a false moniker. This raises the question of what will happen when Luffy, who has named nearly all of his techniques "Gum-Gum" something, will react if he ever finds out the Fruit's real name.
Before coming to Egghead, all of the Straw Hat Pirates were convinced that they were calling the Gum-Gum Fruit by the right name. They even assumed that Luffy's new Sun God form was just another Gear Change of his Devil Fruit. As such, Luffy has continued to refer to his Fruit and its associated techniques with the term "Gum-Gum."
However, something changed about the Straw Hats' understanding of the Gum-Gum Fruit when they met Dr. Vegapunk. In Chapter 1069, "All Things Are Brought Into This World With Hope," he explained that there was no such thing as the Gum-Gum Fruit even in the oldest books about Devil Fruits. Not only that, but he directly likened Luffy's Gear Five form to the Sund God Nika; this wasn't an official namedrop of the Fruit for the Straw Hats, but it was pretty darn close. At the very least, the Straw Hats now know that the Gum-Gum Fruit isn't what they thought it was.
The real question, however, is how Luffy will react to the news that he didn't eat the Gum-Gum Fruit. He has a wide array of attacks and abilities that he named after the Fruit. Learning its true name could mean he'd have to retroactively change the name of all his techniques.
It's not as though he can just name his Gear Five techniques after Nika either. He's already committed to calling them Gum-Gum techniques with the additional "Dawn" fixture. With this, he could be forced to rename all of his techniques after Nika, even the ones not from his Gear Five form.
As for how he'd rename his attacks, that's anyone's guess. He could call them something like "Human-Human Rifle" or "Nika-Nika Ally Robo." Whatever he chooses, it would have to reflect his Fruit's real name rather than its old one.
The alternative is that he develops a newer, stronger stage of attacks that he can brand as Nika attacks. Gear Five is still new to him and he hasn't experimented too much with the "Dawn" attacks, so this is still a reasonable option. He could still use the Gum-Gum name for his normal attacks and reserve the Nika name for his stronger attacks.
There's also the possibility that he simply continues using the Gum-Gum name structure. He doesn't know his Devil Fruit's real name yet and those who could tell him have no reason to. Even if he did learn it, he might still have a sentimental attachment to the Gum-Gum name. That, or he could just consider it too much of a hassle to change the name of all his attacks to something like "Human-Human Model: Nika Pistol."

Gum-Gum Fruit
The Gum-Gum Fruit, also known as the Gomu Gomu no Mi, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that the protagonist of One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy, ate at a very young age. This fruit has permanently turned his body into rubber and has thus given him the ability to stretch.

Devil Fruit
Devil Fruits are magical fruits that grant their eater powers — such as the ability to control gravity, revive from the dead, or become mochi — at the cost of being unable to swim. However, not every Devil Fruit is born equal, and some are clearly superior to others when it comes to combat prowess.
At some point, the Government changed the name of the fruit to the Gomu Gomu no Mi in order to conceal its true nature, with a picture and information on it listed in the newer Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, unlike the old Devil Fruit Encyclopedia that has no mention of the new name.
In the 4Kids dub, Luffy's attacks also begin with "Gum-Gum". However, the gun references are completely renamed for censorship reasons. In the Funimation adaptations, they begin with "Gum-Gum" and the gun references are kept in.
Later, it is revealed that the Gum-Gum Fruit's real name is the "Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika", a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit whose "awakening" grants Luffy's rubber-like body increased strength and freedom, including turning the environment and other living beings into rubber, which is limited only by the user's ...

Zoro does not rely on Devil Fruits, but if he were to eat one, the Buki Buki no Mi would allow him to transform into multiple weapons, expanding his combat options.
The biggest retcon in One Piece history was made even more interesting by the revelation that Red-Haired Shanks, the man who put Luffy on the path to becoming a pirate, was aware of the secret of the Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit all along.
Due to the fact that "Nomi" sounds the same as "no Mi" (の実?, "fruit of"), the suffix present in the name of every Devil Fruit, the name "Nomi Nomi no Mi" consists of the same two syllables repeated three times.
Nika's signature trait was his body having the composition of rubber, which allowed him to fight in just about any manner he could think of. The variety of ways one could fight with this ability can be seen with Monkey D. Luffy and his usage of the fruit modeled after Nika.
