Actually the lenght of Brahmaputra should have been from the sea to Manasarovar aand not from the confluence with the GAnges to Manosarovar

The Brahmaputra is longer but the Ganga has a much greater flow of water. It has many tributaries starting in the Himalayas whereas the Brahmaputra flows along a deep valley with few and small tributaries.
There are many other examples of shorter but more powerful rivers giving their names to the river after the confluence.

The Ganges has a greater volume of fresh water compared to the Brahmaputra. In India, The Ganga is regarded as holy and divine. It has a source in the Gangotri, Himalayas and is religiously sacred. Hence even the Brahmaputra loses its name to the Ganga after their confluence
