Personally, I do not take this as a reference to a name of Messiah.
Jer 33:6 is nearly identical to 23:6. There the word LW (לו) is
replaced with LH (לה). If the one is a reference to Messiah, why not
the other?
Rather, Jer 23:6 is masculine, referring to Israel -- in the same way
that in 33:6 it is feminine, referring to Jerusalem. The two verses
are saying the same thing, and neither is talking about Messiah's
name.

Best regards,
