The new underground station at St Pancras for Thameslink services is usually

However - does it actually need a separate name when it comes into use? As I
see it from the station plans its going to be accessed from the same
'entrance cross passage' as the MML and Kent platforms, so why can't it just
use the next two sequential platform numbers? Clearly the station it
replaces needed a separate identity, but I'm not so sure about the new
one...

Good point. AFAIAA the final name hasn't yet been decided/confirmed -
St. Pancras Midland Road is the "project name", as it were.

I guess FCC wouldn't be too keen on St Pancras Thameslink, but I'm
sure they don't have a carte blance with regards to the stations
naming.
