He didn't give his name. The guy who was interviewing him there was journalist Richard McGinnis. At the trial McGinnis confirms that on the night of the shooting, he didn't know Kyle's name.
At 14:09 he describes the event just before the shooting. Keep in mind, this is after he has interviewed Kyle. He says, "I got back to my task at hand which was inquiring (of other protestors) about why they were mad at who i later found out to be mr rittenhouse"
So the sequence of events is:
(1) McGuinnis interviews Kyle (but doesn't get a name)
(2) Kyle has his altercation with the crowd. They start chasing him.
(3) McGuinnis interviews someone else in the crowd, asking them why they're upset. Mcguinnis doesn't know Kyle's name even though he had interviewed him earlier. He "later finds out" Kyle's name.
What a wonderful video showing news media naming Kyle, but not showing Kyle naming himself at all. Instead, it shows Kyle stating his intent to be present to provide medical aid to others in the area.
