Typically by asking local climbers, and climbing the route yourself. Opinions I've seen are that route names are not copyrightable, any more than road or mountain names. So If I've been there, verified the name with locals, climbed the route logging it's location in my GPS, and assessed the grade myself, the guide book has become a map pointing me in the direction of my own survey.
