No. We, in spanish, say 'estado-unidenses'. And I am proud to belong to one of the few languages that have a name for... well, the United-Staters :-)
I will add that, in many languages, the concept of United-Staters is getting root. I've seen it, among others, in French newspapers (états-uniens).
I find surprising to see that a country do not have a name for themselves, and that they have the arrogance to take the name of the continent they live in.
Of course, this might upset the United States of Mexico (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), as they are, also, a union of States. But we can not make everybody happy :-)
