How to learn someone's name without asking them: " hey you have an odd way of spelling your name don't you?" "No" "well how do you spell it" "john". "Ohhhhh I thought it was jonn."
The obvious answer is to go through thier mail. Stalk them at every turn. Watch them interact with thier neighbors, and hope they let loose his name. Do not stop. Do not give up. This is your life now.
I was convinced I knew our next door neighbours name and put a card through the door at Christmas addressed to Sheila and family, got one back from Shirley and Paul
"No, no, I mean your last name."
Now you have both.
