You could always consider adjusting the flow of your story to accommodate the unknown.

Either make it so that the person's name is not necessarily revealed just yet,

The woman with the red dress simply turned her back to me and said, with not even a turn of her head, â€œYou'll need a better shirt first.â€
Maybe. Through the din of the crowd, she could've said something else.

Or, the person gives themself a colorful or silly autonym which is later superseded by another.

â€œYou can call me â€˜Alâ€™.â€

In effect, you can use your indecision to your advantage and be slightly more spontaneous. This seems like a good recommendation because you'd probably already have a name for a person if you were planning their introduction.
