The expected behaviour is as follow:
- if the control was created on a form (not your case), then the name is the one
you supply, standardised.
- else it's the _initial_ caption, likewise.

I didn't check what IDE does, but I suspect it creates some control with an
initial caption of "" and sets its font and text later. The name of your control
will be "" then.
