I don't think so, the entire German sentence seems present tense, unless the prince and mermaid now have names which aren't Tom and Mary.

In fact, “hieß” is past tense. Tom and the little mermaid whose name was Mary lived long, long ago of course, even if it is now that I tell their tale. ☺

Ok, in that case the sentence is now past tense.
