Ah - what you call "the custom name" is the mount-point, which is
configured in /etc/fstab.  

If I open the partitioner on a running system, I get all partitions and
mounted disks shown, including mount points.

On a system you're about to install, there is no /etc/fstab, so YaST
cannot tell where the various partitions should be mounted.
