It's probably already going to be confusing no mater what. You have:

1. Platinum aka Platy Daddy aka Platy
2. Lesser Platinum aka Lesser

So would the Platinum in Cinnamon Platinum refer to #1 or #2? If you just said Platinum which would you be talking about, the ingredient (#2) or the combo (#1)? Since Platinum isn't unique between the two and Lesser is the unique part of #2 it makes more sense to use Lesser to refer to #2. But with Platinum in the possible names used for both animals before it was known that the original Platinum was a combo it's going to stay a bit confusing any time Platinum/Platy is used.

I think it's a little less confusing if you go with what seems to be the most common current names:

1. Platy
2. Lesser

So if Platy is a two mutation combo of Lesser and the hidden mutation then I would think a Cinnamon Platy would be a combination of three mutations - lesser, hidden, cinnamon. But since Butter Platy is only a double combo of butter and hidden then maybe a Cinnamon Platy would just be cinnamon and hidden but I doubt hidden would do anything to cinnamon. Platy might be a confusing term to avoid all together for new morphs.
