Aoki = Blue Princess, its kinda title as much as a name.

Merli is an outast of their race since she draws energy via song not creates it.

My guess is she is not allowed to carry the name of "Aoki" due to be an outcast, so the name of "Aoki" went to her younger sister. But... I basd my assumption on Teen Titans (not the cartoon show) Blackfire and Starfire situation, wherein because Blackfire was born unable to fly, by her race she was an outcast; she could not inherit the throne and Starfire became the crown princess instead. She does become queen eventually if I recall, but as I recall Starfire gave it to her by denouncing her own title.
