I'm tempted to say they still call it the Furnace, since they overcast isn't required to think of a star as a giant furnace. However, I also know the Easterners don't speak Dragaeran (and the Dragaerans don't speak English), so I'm sure whatever word the Easterners use, gets translated to the word in Dragaeran that gets translated to 'Furnace' in english :)
