A "state monad", i.e. a monad containing a state? If you use it in a sentence in that way, the name State makes sense. "StateTransformer" or something like that would lead to much confusion with the "state transformer transformer" that is currently called StateT. I don't really see a good alternative to the name State, and a good thing about it is that it is short. Oh, bikesheds ought to be brown, of course.
