Did Jesus give Simon a new name? You bet.
When?
The Bible SHOWS that Simon was called 'Peter' BEFORE your famous name change verse.

Sorry. I don't get your point.
Jesus still names him "Rock".
"Simon whom he surnamed Peter" Mk 3:16 (KJV)
"Simon, whom he named Peter" Lk 6:14a (KJV)
Both the new name and the act of God changing the name are significant.

("You are Rock and upon this very rock I will build my church (singular)." - Sounds clear to me.)
