Funny how you can search differently after you post a question. This seems to get the name ok, which I can work with, would still be open to suggestions.
Code:
private void axMap_SelectionChange(object sender, AxMapPoint._IMappointCtrlEvents_SelectionChangeEvent e)
{
MapPoint.Pushpin pushPin = (MapPoint.Pushpin)e.pNewSelection;
MessageBox.Show(pushPin.Name);
}
