There is alot of misinformation that you seem to have picked up. Firstly the Quincy side suppressed his latent potential, including masquerading as his primary source of power. He even explains that all the times ichigo learned something about his zanpakuto or was saved when his life was in danger it was the actual zangetsu. He even points out that only thing he ever lied about was being Zangetsu. In this situation the quincy power makes it clear that he had nothing to do with the name by stating the fact that he is not zangetsu. Renji is a different situation as the zanpakuto spirit zabimaru purposely withheld its true bankai name. There is no proof of this with ichigo and not to mention that ichigo's zanpakuto has ran the whole length of possible scenarios where it changes and Ichigo has overcome the situations that hold him back. He is at the point (being the last arc) where he has everything finally for once where its supposed to officially be at in regards to his inconsistent powers throughout the series.
