I can't remember seeing a reference to Faramir's sword either - it was unnamed in the films too. Rest assured, if PJ had milked a backstory for it, we'd be sure to know it.
Like others have pointed out, I think there's no chance at all that Faramir has the original Ringil. Recycling an old name might be possible, but as there's no mention of it anywhere that I can find, I think that somebody made it up.
Hadhafang was only used by Arwen in the films - she apparently inherited it from her great-grandmother Idril. Either this person didn't know what he was talking about, or he was trolling.
