We have '%pD' for printing a filename. It may not be perfect (by default it only prints one component.) As suggested by Linus at [1]: A dentry has a parent, but at the same time, a dentry really does inherently have "one name" (and given just the dentry pointers, you can't show mount-related parenthood, so in many ways the "show just one name" makes sense for "%pd" in ways it doesn't necessarily for "%pD"). But while a dentry arguably has that "one primary component", a _file_ is certainly not exclusively about that last component. Hence "file_dentry_name()" simply shouldn't use "dentry_name()" at all. Despite that shared code origin, and despite that similar letter choice (lower-vs-upper case), a dentry and a file really are very different from a name standpoint.
