We don't know if they had names but people don't try to find out
The term Cro-Magnon refers to populations of stone-age people who, unlike their contemporaries the Neanderthals, were anatomically indistinguishable from modern human beings. This being the case, they are considered members of our own species, which bears the Latin binomial designation Homo sapiens.
From the Neander Valley in Germany, where the first fossils were discovered.
The name for uncivilized and uncultured people varies on the current decade or time. The names used were often savages, peasants, Indians, and references to Neanderthals or cavemen.
Some similarities between the cro-magnon and the neanderthals are that they are Human-like creatures that lived in caves(not always), they hunted various animals, and both had human characteristics. The Neanderthals had broad shoulders, big jaws and brute strength. However, the Cro-Magnons were smarter and developed better weapons and hunting tactics(their appearance were very similar to ours). There is also a theory of how the Neanderthals strangely went extinct when the cro-magnons migrated towards them, a war most likely.
they were probably hammeraxes,chizels,spears,and scrapers

The Neanderthals could not write, so we have no way of knowing anything about their language, including what names they used. So if you are writing a story about Neanderthals, you can make up any words you like.
Archeology finds have indicated that the average life of the "stone-age" man, the "cromagnon" was approx. 28 years of age.
They painted on cave walls. That is incorrect Neanderthals and Cro-magnons were the same people, it is just two different names for them. In fact Neanderthals show evidence of quite a sophisticated culture and lifestyle. Including their tool making through the mousterian industry. (sp?)
There were never any Neanderthals in Africa.
