Mary was told by the angel, Gabriel, to name her Son JESUS when he (Gabriel)apperared to her in Nazareth. After the birth of Jesus, He was circumcised on the eighth day after His birth and it was usual to name the child at that time. So even though they knew what He would be named it probably wasn't disclosed to anyone until the circumcision. (See the story of John the Baptist in Luke1:59-63)
