From what I know, in the original series, the turtles had only just been bought from a pet store by said kid before a can of radiation hit the container holding them and dropping all of them into the sewers, so it's more than likely they didn't have names. But even so, we don't know what their original names were or would've been, so that doesn't exactly matter. :P Plus, they were officially named by Splinter, not simply nicknamed. It's similar to how Clark Kent and Son Goku are counted as birth names for both Kal-El and Kakarot, as they were officially named that after being adopted. :P
