From what I've heard there is a slight difference between the two, but I'm not very sure. Neither name is fantastic but "emotionally unstable" is an awful part of a diagnosis, especially when BPD is more common in women, who are frequently painted as emotionally unstable as an insult. And IMO it just doesn't sound like a serious disorder, when it is. My dx is "emotionally unstable personality traits" which sounds even worse.

There is a 3rd name for it. I'll add it to the poll if it will let me
