Maybe im wrong on this, but can't you just put the email in to gmail and type anything as the password and it will come up with the name anyway? Like you don't even have to click the forgot password thing.

What is there even to not understand? Simple go to gmail's login, claim login problems, forgotten password, enter email. Thus you get the name behind the email.
It's an easy method to fetch a real name.

This guy. Also try using "an" in a more appropriate place.
