The Unicorn part is just an after thought that happen to go in line with the tradition to have the title including the featured protagonist mech.
I wouldn't say that though, there's plenty of references to the French poem as well as usage of the imageries of unicorn in the novel from start to end to discount the theory that using unicorn as a symbol of the main mecha as well as the plot key is an after-thought. Rather, I would say shortening Unicorn, which is proper word, into the abbreviation of U.C. for the title, was a deliberate marketing ploy to deeply associate the work with the UC calendar.
