I think they default to the name not as an acknowledgment of it as her true name, but because it is how she is identified.
Like Hitler and Stalin had real names… And we might make fun of them for rebranding themselves… But we don’t habitually refer to them as their actual names.
It’s like that.

Hitler identified as Hitler because that is the name he was given. There were people who wanted to ridicule and bring Hitler down who called him by his father’s name, but that didn’t change the fact that he was Hitler. In that since, the whole Omar thing seems very much "like that’. Still… why aren’t the asshats who are taunting Omar using the same supposed name against her consistently? It just seems sloppy and proof that they’re full of shit.
