The reason why we didn't learn the names of the chapter 1 suspects is because we didn't need to. It didn't matter what their names were, only their roles as the priest, the nun with a broken arm, the servant who found the rope ladder in the incinerator and couldn't commit the first murder due to his size, and the regular worshipper with no access to the incinerator but with a lot of knowledge on the Nail Man. Same as the boy that Yuma helps.

In chapter 2, Kurumi knew the suspects personally - they were going to the same academy, and there is really no better way to refer to them other than by their names.

In chapter 3, Yuma is being personally introduced to the Resistance by Shachi, in order to get to know them somewhat and possibly get persuaded to either join or work for them. We need their names for that.

In chapter 4, there is literally One Guy, Dr. Huesca, and there is absolutely no reason not to call him by his name. Fink is also here but who cares about Fink let's be honest.

We didn't need to attach ourselves to the church crew. Yuma and Halara were at the time pretending to be peacekeepers doing an interrogation. It's really not a strange or bad writing choice. It would be way more odd if we got introduced to Father Adeline, Sister Fuyuko, the servant guy Josh Smith we don't really respect him that much tbh, and don't forget our favourite regular Dark Iplier who puts his whole wallet on the tray every sunday so we forgive him for replacing the holy water in the stoup with diesel and tempting small children to chug it for fake pokemon cards
