Well, I don't think she's ever called it "Malfoy Manor", she's 
definately not done so in the books. However, both Draco and Lucius
referred to their home as "the manor" in CoS.

Good day to you, Mr. Borgin. I'll expect you at the manor tomorrow
to pick up the goods.

So, you can safely call it Malfoy's manor, but I don't think you can
automatically give it the name "Malfoy Manor".
