Maybe he assumed they were Argents because Marie-Jeanne said that history would know him as "The Beast;" so for someone to say they know his name, it would be a logical conclusion to reach. The only people that would really remember (or hear about him) would be descendants from his sister. While I agree that Marie-Jeanne told him that he will be only be remembered as the beast, he couldn't have known that every proof of his existence as a man would be destroyed. In that scene he does get outraged when he realises she was talking about "damnatio memoriae."

He said something like "You would have them take my name?! Our name?!" or something like that. I'm sure he knew what that entailed or else he wouldn't have reacted the way that he did.

But I agree, the way the line is phrased does make it seem like Gerard and Sebastien know each other. Maybe that was an oversight of the writers who wrote that script. Maybe we'll find out in the Finale (Chris did say there was another part to the story that they should have told the Pack).
