The right word
 
Dear colleagues, I need your help.

Some of my students wrote this in their test:

I once did a test on Facebook named "What nationality are you?"

I think the word named cannot be used in this context- I expected the word called.
Am I right?

Thank you for your answers.

You are correct.  To use named is an often- made mistake.
