Would we change the name of Europa if we discover aliens there? It would be weird if we call the aliens "Europans"

We could call them non-gay europeans.

I have doubts about there being enough energy there for a biosphere.
Also, wouldn't the mutation rate be lower there since they'd be exposed to less radiation in their cozy ice shell?

Why would it? We call aliens on Mars "Martians", aliens on Luna "Lunarians" etc.

Not a problem as long as the power usage rate is low. There is not much activity at teh bottom of the ocean trenches but some life is there too.

Perhaps, then again you could have radioactive materials in the core, and some chemicals are also mutagenic.

It ain't gonna be anything more complex than some retarted fish anyway so after the initial shock nobody will care

If they have hydrothermal vent based primary energy/oxygen generation (like we do in small quantities) they could very well have a small biosphere. It might be fairly locally contained to a small region around the hydrothermal vents though (assuming, speculatively, that it exists).

they would change the name to India or Africa, because it would be very problematic to call it europa, where White people live
