Hope isn't necessarily the 'god of hope', she's just named Hope. Hope is the name her parents gave her -- a perfectly serviceable name, and one she probably never heard the end of when she was a kid.
(side note: in the Interlude chapter of Kara Quest, Hope mentions she is not a fan of irony -- I always imagined she was teased a lot in school, and does not appreciate people trying to make clever usage of her name. This actually comes up once in Apoc when Cora unintentionally tells her that she hopes they can be friends, and Hope promptly asks Cora to "please don't do that", which just makes Cora confused)
That said, Hope shows a lot of 'hope-like' qualities. She aligns herself strongly with Light, believes herself to be surrounded by demons and impurity, and she seeks to make them better (in the only way she knows how, by blasting them with purifying light and holy fire, typically 'angelic' wraths of god). She also never loses faith in her own abilities -- the idea that she can't do something just doesn't enter into her mind. At worst it's only a matter of figuring out how.
I don't think Hope would consider herself the 'god of hope'. She'd consider herself to be God, period, or at least the God of Magic. In a setting where there's only one god, she could even make a pretty decent claim on that title. But in a setting where multiple gods exist, with titles of their own, it's not that far a stretch to say that Hope represents... uh... 'hope'. Albit a perverted bastardized rendition of it.
Well, that's what I think, anyway. I'm not in charge of this quest.
But I think Hope is probably the god of hope not because she chose that title, but because that title just happens to fit her best in the context of the world she lives in and that's what the other gods are calling her.
