With the exception of Ugo, who IIRC is just a name given to him by Alladin, all other genies seem to be named after the 72 demons of Solomon's Ars Goetia

Alladin, Judal and Yunan certainly aren't names listed in the Ars Goetia

So I don't think magi are have an obligation to be genies. Unless of course they take a new name upon becoming one.
