Just ask. Make light of it. "This is crazy, but over all these years you guys have never told me your names!"

Yeah this is the default I guess. I'm leaning this way.

over the next couple of weeks/months, try this:

if the father is helping you out, try to bring up one of the other family members in your brief conversation. when you do, say something like "so i told your daughter, what's her name again?, blah blah blah." then, you get the daughter's name, and it just looks like the name slipped your mind (or at worst you only forgot her name). repeat this on subsequent trips, but for different family members. if you go twice a week, you've got plenty of time to find out all the names by christmas, and over that span of time no red flags will come up (hopefully).

1 time out of 150 isn't bad.

Once in a while, Friday mornings,the grandfather is alone, all the other times they are all in there together. This place is just a drop off joing too, so its just one small room with a lot of storage in the back. Good idea though.

Do you want my help or not? Get me the answer.

Did they tell you their names and you just forgot, or did they never formally introduce everyone?
