I don't believe not knowing a character's name would be confusing unless you make it so. If you continuously refer to the same person differently from each of the other character's perspectives, or if you refer to the mystery person by using different titles, then that could become confusing. You will also need to be careful using terms like "she" and "her", because depending on the context, your reader might not know who you are talking about. As long as you word your story well and pay heed to how you use your pronouns, you should be okay. Just concentrate on making sure that it is easy to understand who is being discussed wherever you use pronouns.
