Does the sentence in parentheses make sense?

Have you heard from that guy, William? (If his name was William) - Is this OK when you want to express doubt over the fact that his name might not be William?


Thanks.

No, you are asking specifically about a male person named William who is known to both you and the person you are talking to.
