If there were any "disciples" (you should learn how to spell it even if they are as fictional as your god) the names were not attached to these particular pieces of fiction until late in the second century.
Coincidentally ( or not ) they were first named by Irenaeus who also coincidentally along with Hegesippus introduced the concept of "apostolic succession" as some sort of bogus rationale for claiming that later bishops were direct descendants of the original crew of ficitional losers.
I don't believe in coincidences....although I'm sure you believe in nothing else.
