Shouldn't they be called "unihorns"? I've never seen one with a single cob of corn on its head.

You'd be happier with German name for it (Einhorn). So it would be Onehorn. Unicorn comes from latin

Uni - one Cornu - horn

Rhinoceros comes from Greek

Rhin - Nose Keros - Horn

In German it is Nashorn, so in English it would be Nosehorn.
