I think that they will likely have a scene with the children being bullied and maybe also the teacher not doing anything about it, because otherwise moviegoers won't realize how poorly run Experiment House is. Maybe somehow the names could come up during then as well.

[Eustace squeezes between the back wall of the gym and wet laurel bushes, approaching Jill, who is sitting on the soaking ground with her arms wrapped around her knees. Eustace crouches beside her while she raises her tear-stained face to glare at him]
"Hi, um, what's your name again?"
"Jill Pole." [hissed]
"Well, Pole. Um, my name is Eustace--"
"Scrubb. I know. Go away."
There, something like that. That way you know what their full names are and that they are referring to each other by their surnames.

On the one hand, I'd like to see it preserved as in the book, but I feel that that's probably unlikely. Two points from VDT would make me suspect that they won't. Firstly, they didn't stick with Eustace calling his parents by their first names - meaning they aren't concerned with following the book's naming patterns. And secondly, the film ends with Eustace's mother talking about his "friend Jill Pole" (notice she uses both names and doesn't call her "that Pole girl" or something that might imply the use of surnames) suggesting that they are already friends - unlike in the books - and more likely to be using first names already. Of course, this being a completely new film with new actors, they could cut ties completely and forget about any precedents in VDT.
At the end of the day, it's an interesting question but I think one of the things I'd be least worried about. If they start calling each other something completely non-cannon like "sweetie" or "honey" I'd be far more concerned"

In the grand scheme of things, I do not really think that calling Scrubb Eustace and Pole Jill would be a very big change. There does not seem to be any real reason (that I know of) to call them by their last names except to remind the audience that they know each other through school and are not actually related as the Pevensies and Scrubbs are.
