Or, as I said in another post, the problem is that this boy's name is 
so important that JKR simply can't reveal it. It wouldn't be the 
first time she creates a major plot hole in order to cover important 
information up (like Harry not even being aware that Sirius was his 
dad's best friend, and Harry's godfather).
