The title Hamlet refers to late King Hamlet, not his son who went mad.
Father Hamlet appeared in his son Hamlet telling he was killed by his younger brother. I think the main theme of this famous play is the overwhelming influence of Father Hamlet even after he was killed by his younger brother who also married his wife. I think Shakespeare didn't give the son of late King Hamlet a name emphasising how feeble and fragile his son's character was. Son Hamlet and Ophelia are described as they lived in a fantasy in comparison with the realistic and strong figures of Father Hamlet, his brother, his wife.
