Nope, his name is In.

The picture of Malcador is only showing the numbers of the legions with no other symbols present.
The Emperors name will never be revealed. Letting people know your name enables Daemons to hold power over you. I believe this was shown in the TS novel during the Edict of Nikea.

There is no topic here. Any guess is as good as any other, because we're never given a name for the Emperor. The given date of the Emperor's birth pre-dates anything we currently know to exist, though there are Neolithic ruins in the area (Gobekli Tepe being the most-famous, perhaps). In fact, given the purported ritual use of that site, it may well be that this is where the shamans performed their mass suicide that would give rise to their investiture in He-who-would-be-Emperor.

I'm fairly certain that he was confirmed to be St. George, what with his "slaying" of the Void Dragon.

He was, but that's almost 9,000 years after his birth. George was just the person he was then, but not who he had been all the while.

Oh, please, his name is clearly Johann Gambolputty-de-von-Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crass-cren-bon-fried-digger-dangle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelter-wasser-kurstlich-himble-eisen-bahnwagen-guten-abend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwürstel-gespurten-mitz-weimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-schönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittleraucher-von-Hautkopft of Ulm.
Because, surely there is no being in the universe that is so daft as to think of speaking this true name in front of the Emperor.

this is a pretty good insight. it means that during the great crusade he referred to himself as the Emperor.
I wonder if he did so before he won the Unification Wars. You can't call yourself Emperor if you're just an upstart, and if you do you'll have a lot of people mocking you.
Also, your name will be known by the masses.
