Inform: Changing names of actors.

O.K. Following situation:

Small study. Bookshelves line the walls.....etc etc...

A young man is pacing up and down nervously.

How do you change the characters name when, after a bout of chatting, the
young man tells you his name is James (say) so that:

Small study....etc...

James is pacing up and down nervously.

BUT should the player not engage James in conversation, it remains:

A young man is pacing up and down nervously.

Probably really obvious. Probably in the manual. Probably me being dense.
But humour me anyway.

Thanks in advance.
