When Fred and George first had the map, don't you think they 
would have stayed in their dorm room studying it before they 
went looking for secret passageways?  They must have seen PP 
on the map, but blew it off as someone they didn't know, or just 
didn't care.  If they would have seen the name "wormtail" walking 
around the castle, that may have sent them looking for "wormtail" 
because they would want to know who  "wormtail"  was and 
congratulate him on making such an extraordinary map!  So I 
don't think that the Marauder's nicknames would have appeared 
on the map (sorry Lupin).
