Given that between Volumes 2 and 3 Team RWBY spent enough time with Emerald and Mercury that Yang calls Emerald by a nickname and Ruby acts betrayed when she learns that they're the bad guys, I don't think it's that much of a stretch that she learned Cinder's name offscreen. Plus Ruby met them near the beginning of Volume 2. That's a long time to go and not ask someone's name.
