Piggy, the intellectual and rational character in "Lord of the Flies," doesn't ask for the names of the choir boys because he's more focused on addressing their immediate need for order and organization on the island in order to create a functioning society. He believes that knowing their names is not as crucial as establishing rules and structure for the group's survival and wellbeing.

How do you know that most the boys are strangers to each other before the crash?

At the start of the book Piggy asked Ralph what his name was so it was obvious they didn't know each other. Once Ralph had blown the conch and boys had started to arrive at the platform Piggy asked them for their names, evidence that they were strangers to him. When the choir, led by Jack, arrived Piggy made introductions, which indicated that the boys in the choir didn't know any of the other boys. At the end of the meeting when Ralph, Simon and Jack were heading off to climb the mountain Ralph told Piggy that his job was to collect names. If he'd known the other boys he'd have already known their names.
