Bolshevik was the first name of the political party headed by Vladimir Lenin and formed in 1903. Prior to 1903, the Bolsheviks were members of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. Subsequent to the October Revolution in 1917, the renamed themselves the Communist Party.
In March 1918, the Bolsheviks renamed themselves the Communist Party and they renamed Russia the "Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic." Russia was not renamed the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was a new nation with the Russian SFSR as one of four nations at its outset.
The Bolsheviks renamed Russia the "Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic" in 1918. In 1937, they renamed it the "Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic", switching the words "soviet" and "socialist' around in the order.
In 1922, the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (Russia) joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic.
In short: Russia's "name" was never changed to the Soviet Union.
In Russian, the term 'Bolshevik' means 'majority men', who were in favour of a Communist Revolution lead by the Proletariat. There were also the Mensheviks, or 'minority men', who wanted a Socialist Revolution led by the Middle Classes- in effect, replacing one set of bosses with another set of bosses, who would have governed the country on the basis of inequality of education and academic elitism as oppose to inequality of wealth. Those in favour of a Proletarian revolution were in the majority, hence the term 'Bolshevik'.

The Bolsheviks, Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks.
The Bolsheviks came to power, by shutting down an election by force when the socialist revolutionaries won the election. The leader of the Bolsheviks, were just as bad as Tsar Nicholas II.
Just about everyone did. The Left Social Revolutionaries were supportive for a while and participated in government with them but eventually they wound up being traitors essentially. The main group within Russia that fought against the Bolsheviks however was the Tsarists, they were supported by the Right SRs and the Mensheviks. They were all soon supported militarily by over a dozen other countries like the US, UK and France. After the Left SRs left them, the Bolsheviks were left by themselves.
They tolerated the Bolshevik coup because they misunderstood the Bolshevik's true intentions and underestimated the ability of the Bolshevik's to retain the power they had usurped. The various socialist parties were actually opposed to the Bolshevik takeover; however they tolerated it because they felt that it was better to accept a takeover by a socialist party than to invite civil war that might undo the gains of the revolution or even restore the Tsar. The socialist were fooled into thinking that the Bolsheviks truly intended to honor the principles of the revolution and give power to the Soviet councils or to the people themselves. They did not realize that Lenin and the Bolsheviks had no intention of allowing anyone other than themselves to exercise any type of political power. The socialists also found themselves with no power to resist the Bolsheviks as they consolidated their power. The Bolsheviks had created the Military Revolutionary Committee, which was an armed force. The soldiers of the Russian army for the most part refused to intervene.

The Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin renamed itself the Communist Party in March 1918 after the Russian Revolution. They did this because Lenin had outlawed all other political parties, especially the other Marxist/Communist ones. He felt that since the Bolsheviks were the only political party espousing communism and since there was no further reason to differentiate themselves from the Mensheviks, they should call themselves the Communist Party. So they did.
