I've assumed his name was "Allen" ever since we found out the dog was named Allen and then he named his orphan Allen... XD It just seemed really suspicious. And "Neah", I believe, is his Noah name, like "Road" or "Wisely" or "Joyd".
Reasons why Road might not have recognized his name: "Walker" may have been an assumed name, and not Mana and his brother's original last name. It's entirely possible that the Noah don't care what his original name is, that the 14th, like Road, no longer bothered to go by his human name and so no one (except maybe the Earl) knew it. There's also no reason to think that crazy Mana Walker, who named dogs after his brother, wasn't -- well -- just plain bonkers, naming this kid after his brother as well, and the only significance is that he's involved with someone who's related to the 14th.
I don't think there's any real reason to imply that she knew about Allen when the Earl didn't; I think maybe she's been drawn to him for a number of reasons and never put things together.
One thing that's a bit of a flaw in the "Allen Walker is the 14th's human name" theory is thisdream, where Allen dreams of the 14th calling him by someone else's name... When I saw that, I said, "Maybe not 'Allen'" but it doesn't make any sense that Mana and Cross would attach this much significance to a name that isn't the 14th's, so maybe Allen was just hearing "Neah" and being confused?
