The question is a bit confused. The noun 'neighbor' is the same word whether it is a subject or an object in a sentence. Examples:
- My neighbor came to my barbecue. (subject of the sentence)
- You met my neighbor at the barbecue. (direct object of the verb 'met')
The pronoun 'who' is a subject, interrogative and relative pronoun, which functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause.
The pronoun 'whom' is an object, interrogative and relative pronoun, which normally functions as the object of a preposition (not the object of a verb).
An interrogative pronoun introduces a question.
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause (a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete thought, not a complete sentence). A relative clause gives information about its antecedent.
Examples:
- Who is your neighbor? (interrogative pronoun)
- For whom did your neighbor hold the barbecue? (interrogative pronoun)
- The neighbor who asked me to make a cake was holding a barbecue. (relative pronoun, subject of the relative clause)
- The neighbor for whom I made the cake was holding a barbecue. (relative pronoun, object of the preposition 'for')
