There seems to be a disconnect here.

Choosing a name doesn't proclude them from having realized it themselves.

Upon a successful fusion, a Gem can realize their name and choose to use it or not. Garnet felt like Garnet when she fused so she calls herself Garnet.

Stevonnie's name was conceptualized by Amethyst and Stevonnie chose to use it for themselves.

Lapis only mentioned the name Malachite when her and Jasper's minds were already beginning to wholly meld, before that, Lapis was preventing it from happening. Hence her saying "We're Malachite now." as a way of saying they're not Lapis nor Jasper anymore.

Being able to choose who you want to be as long as it's you is a pillar of this show. That extends to fusions choosing the name they want to be.
