Nope, the route was branded 'Thameslink', including all the same stations
as
they are today, by NSE from opening in May 1987.

Although City Thameslink was originally called St Pauls Thameslink
(renamed in '91).

and didn't exist at all when Thameslink opened, as it originally used the
old route over Ludgate Hill, with no station between Blackfriars and
Farringdon.
