In German and several Slavic languages it is called the "British-American War". In a cursory look I didn't find any alternate names used by the combatants.

In the USA, the war is also known as "Second War of Independence".

It has been referred to as the War of 1812 since a very short time after the war:
From History of the Hartford Convention:with a review of the policy of the Unites States government which led to the war of 1812 ...By Theodore Dwight, published 1833.
Such was the origin of the war of 1812...
Another book published in 1827 here:
...Doings in relation to the war of 1812...
.
This shows usage of the phrase as early as 1827, so within 15 years of the war. There may be earlier references, but I haven't run across them yet.
