I don't think I've heard his name spoken once.
He's credited as "The Boy" on Wikipedia, but if you dig long enough on the IMDB page he is listed as Ramsay Snow. I don't think you have missed anything, he just seems to show up for a few minutes an episode and tortures Theon, then that's it till next week. I have a feeling I know why they've been reluctant to name him, and that has to do with the 9th episode this season.
Spoiler for spoilers for the books:
I am kind of hoping they retire Theon for the next few seasons and let him come back as his character does in the books.

Thanks I'll definitely refer to that website because I know I'll need to be guided for the first time around.
You're welcome. Like I said, don't feel pressured to remember every character, just the important ones. Martin seems to spend a lot of time describing and establishing thug characters like the Kettleblacks, but I honestly can't remember all their names or their relationship to the plot. So long as you know who the main players are you'll be fine.
