Some novel anyway. While I tend to stick to the way his name is in MBh, does Jaya refer to his name as Suyodhana?

Do you mean the core of Mahabharata called Jaya attributed to Vyasa?
I am not sure about that but the name Suyodhana is used extensively in several Telugu abridged Mahabharata's I have come across.
"Su" (eg: suvaasana for good smell) being Sanskrit for good whereas "Dur" (eg: durvaasana for bad smell) is used to indicate bad.
In fact I think that was the real name but later distorted to Duryodhana to indicate his bad character. I doubt any parent would name their kid as "bad".
I just remembered that Suyodhana as a grey character was portrayed in Dana Veera Soora Karna but the central focus in that movie was Karna.
