Ok, I know it looks like I just answered my own question. But....
According to the bible and other things I have read. " The daughter of Pharaoh named him Mosheh" MOSES.
Also according to the bible. Moses' mother Jochebed, hide him for three months and when she could no longer hide him, she put him where he could be found by Pharaoh's daughter Thermuthis.
The bible goes on the say about Moses mother taken care of him after Thermuthis found him to nurse him and he was then raised by Thermuthis.
But it never says what Moses' mother, Jochebed, named him all those three months that she and she alone had him.. I know she would have named him something.
The only thing I can find online are where is name comes from. The meaning of it. But with all that it still have the daughter naming him.
Not what his real mother would have named him.
Can I only have adult answers please.!!

According to Jewish tradition, Moses' 'real' name, the name given to him at birth by his parents was Tov, which means 'good'.
According to Egyptian records his real name was Moshe. His Hebrew name, Moshe, means "the one who draws out"...
According to the Egyptian-born historian Ahmad Osman: More likely, however, is that it comes from the Egyptian mose, meaning '(is) born', or more simply 'son.'

It probably isn't really necessary that we know the name his mother gave him. The lord knew him as Moses. Maybe his mother did name him that, and when she came to help Pharaoh's daughter, told her his name. It could also be that she didn't give him a set name. Sometimes they didn't for a while back then. She might have known that she couldn't take care of him, and in so doing didn't want to give him a name.

It is possible for his mother not to have named him. We assume that Moses' real mother was like mothers of today. We name our kids before they are even born. But in Moses' time, the names actually meant something more than just something to yell when dinner was ready. So most of the time mothers would hold off a bit until the name was clear to them.

She did not name him.She Knew God would give him his name Exodus 2ND & ,2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

I really dont think that Moses had a name before Moses...I really believe that his real mother knew that she couldnt keep him so she didnt name him....but if she did the Bible never tells what..
I am going to continue to research this
However Aaron and Miraim knew his name as Moses when he returned to Egypt so his name must have been Moses the entire time....granted I could be wrong....

Prior to the daughter of Pharaoh naming him, there is no record of his having been named.

The Bible doesn't say what his mother named him. Any answer other than that would be shear speculation.
