However, when you do send a box to the cattery now, or on an owner change, or on rez, the name will be registered as well in the pedigree. This was not intended though, but we will not be removing it and may be expanding it to any name change in next update.
You will be able to register any box name in the pedigree that way.
If you switched them to images, it may have caused an owner event change in the script. Such an early change shouldn't be catched by the box, but i have noticed before the events seem to be delayed sometimes, which could explain it. An other explenation could be that you maybe did rez the box again after updating... The gender text option is actually unrelated.

I just ran an experiment on two newly born boxes.
a) I verified both show in pedigree, no names, both were switched to image mode after they were born, then sat for 1/2 hour or so while I was doing other things.
b) I named one box 'test' but didn't select *any* of the display boxes and the other box 'test2', with all *but* gender display selected -- The boxes are in my pedigree, still with no names
c) I waited 10 minutes and confirmed with a shift/refresh that my pedigree still has both boxes, and still no names.
d) I clicked the 'test' box and checked ONLY the gender display, no other action, no change in pedigree
e) I clicked the 'test' box and renamed it to test3, no other actions, again nothing happened.
f) I clicked the 'test3' box and selected 'all' for display, no change in pedigree.
g) I clicked the 'test3' box and renamed it 'test4', no change in pedigree.
h) I took and re-rezzed the 'test4' box, at that point, the name showed in the pedigree.
With that in mind, with the 'test2' box still with 'gender' unchecked, I took the box and simply re-rezzed it, and the name updated in the pedigree, so the 'gender' display selection doesn't matter, what I saw yesterday was apparently coincidence, as KittyCatS said.
I went and re-rezzed and re-took all the boxes i've updated so far into inventory, and all the box names for those are now re-appearing in the pedigree. So that's the 'trick' -- once you've updated your boxes, take them into inventory and re-rez them. This may also work with cattery, I don't know because I don't use it .. yet!
