I think the idea is that he thought she was confused by what he had said.
"What are they called?" meaning "what are the words for them?" Not "what are their names?" Like he was quizzing her on her English or something.
He was a about to correct her like "no no, I meant what are their names?"
Ok, I see our misunderstanding. But I think if he wanted to correct her in the way you think, he would have had that thought three lines earlier.
