No. Cleopatra had only one name and that was Cleopatra. Her throne title was Thea Philopator, this was a naming devise used by the Ptolemies to distinguish between their rulers as they all had the same names. That is, all the kings were Ptolemies and all the queens were either Cleopatras with a couple of Arsinoes and Berenices thrown in.
Yes, Cleopatra, in fact had two sons names Ptolemy. Ptolemy Caesar and Ptolemy Philadelphos. Ptolemy was the name of just about all the males in the Ptolemaic dynasty, with a couple of Alexanders thrown in along the way.
The men in Cleopatra's dynasty all were called Ptolemy because that was their family name. They also had other names, but these secondary names were added after the designation Ptolemy. In other words, they put their last names first instead of last as we do. Some examples are, Ptolemy Sotor, Ptolemy Philadelphus, Ptolemy Eugergetes, and Ptolemy Epiphanes.
All the Cleopatras of Egypt lived in the Ptolemaic dynasty.
