The fact they do in the bible, where as in real life nobody said shit during the real time frame, as you said, says to me some writers decided to create a new myth after the fact.
Do we have a record or evidence showing Romans were known to list the names of every criminal they had arrested and crucified? No.

The Romans did not bother recording his name. Except for Josephus and Tacitus.
His followers obviously did, however, and key aspects of their accounts are corroborated in the writings of these non-Jewish authors.
