By what name was Jesus called until the 8th day after his birth?
There is no reason to believe that Jesus was called anything other than Jesus before his circumcision and the official recognition and naming of the Child Jesus.
To my knowledge there is no tradition or apocrypha that states the contrary.
It could be possible that Mary and Joseph employed terms of endearment in regards to the Child Jesus, like many parents do with their infant children, but it is simply speculation.

He wasn't.
To this day, Jewish boys are not named until the eighth day, and Jewish girls until the Sabbath after their birth. It is polite, when talking to Jewish parents before then, to ask not what the baby's name is, but what it will be.
Likewise, the Gospels speak
While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son.
So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child.
The Gospels don't call him by name because He had no name.
