People didn't go to Heaven before Christ came to Earth and died. Right after his death, the curtain in the temple ripped in 2 (Mark 15:37-38), symbolizing the way to Heaven was now open. (Hebrews 10:19-20) Worth pointing out too, is that not all good people go to Heaven. A specific number (144,000) are handpicked by Jehovah God and Jesus to go. (Revelation 14:1-4)

So what happens to all the other good people that have died but didn't go to Heaven? These (along with those that died before knowing anything about Jehovah or His principles, a.k.a. "the unrighteous") will be brought back to life in the future. (John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15) These individuals will then be able to live forever on Earth in peace, in a world devoid of evil people. (Psalms 37:10, 11, 28-29)

Was Jesus called the Word before he came to earth and not called Jesus until he came to earth?

We have no way of knowing what title Jesus went by in heaven before coming to earth. We have reason to believe that it was Christ who dealt with His people in the Old Testament, and He is simply referred to as "Yahweh", or "Jehovah", depending on your translation, or, in English, oftentimes, "God" or "the Lord God". After returning to heaven, He calls Himself "the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End" in Revelation 22. We don't know if this was His name before the whole "sin episode" or if this was a name He took for Himself afterwards. We do know that Jesus was a common Jewish name, much like Jacob or Joshua would be in our society. It is not likely that He was known by this name in heaven before coming to earth. It was a given name.
