I wouldn't. I think its actually pretty unique and a good conversation topic.
You can spin it off in an interview and talk about why the WM major is better than the Finance major because of XYZ and reasons and actually prepares you better for more real life applications since its more analytical oriented, etc.
So you're taking product A that is very similar to product B, but not identical, and claiming product A is product B.
That's fraudulent and, if uncovered when HR does background checks on your academic record, would send a pretty negative signal to a potential employer.
Put in the real name of your major. Chances are, the people screening resumes are swimming in finance/investments majors and the difference in name could warrant them taking an interest in you. Also you won't have to sweat the background check, hoping that HR doesn't make a big deal about it if you secure an offer. Imagine how painful it would be potentially having your amazing offer rescinded because of this. Not worth it IMO.
