"Empire of the Indies" is absolutely what they would name it. "New Spain" is too restricted of a term, which would imply domination by New Spaniards/Mexicans (especially considering its capital would likely be in New Spain).
In English Indios = Indians
But thats confusing enough already with two different groups called that.
So that makes its inhabitants Indians?
Already too heavily in usage for the modern day island.What about Española / Hispaniola being adopted to refer to the entire Empire? It literally just means Spanish anyway.

Eh... Latin Empire?
As interesting idea seems, I don't think there could be united Empire of Spanish America. Mexico couldn't keep even United Provinces, and those couldn't even stay together.
Plus Paraguayan and Chileans, as both those groups were purposeful differentiate themselves of the inhabitants of the Virreinos.Its inhabitants would be New Spaniards, Peruvians, New Granadines, and Platineans.
I doubt it, the resentment against the Penisulares, as their actions was constantly against the local populations interest, higher taxes that was mostly illegally appropriated by the Peninsular Bureaucrats, prohibition of all industry endevour so the Americas was complete dependent of Spain for elaborated products, the exclusion of all the government positions, outside the military, for the local population, among other created a lot of resentment against the Spanish in general, and the crown in Particular.Having a Spanish monarch and not some upstart random general being the head of Spanish America might be enough to unify it.
Would be the reverse in la plata and paraguya, i can see Chile and Nueva granada going full independance alongside Venezuela and Ecuador, Peru might want a new king tooI still could see La plata, Chile and Paraguay declaring independence, and I could see Peru and Nueva Granada demanding a King, distinct of the Spanish emperor, for themselves.
The Spanish Empire truly surviving would probably require Spain to have never been invaded by Napoleon, and very early industrialization of northern Spain based on the coal deposits there.Plus Paraguayan and Chileans, as both those groups were purposeful differentiate themselves of the inhabitants of the Virreinos.
