No, you should say “The man, who I don’t know the name of,...”
You can use ‘which’ when you are talking about a thing.

@txppp Can "of wich" use instead of "whose" in every case?

Sometimes, but wouldn’t recommend it for most occasions. The difference is “whose” is used in referring to a person, while “which” is often used to a refer to a “thing”.
So in the case of this sentence, “whose” is emphasizing the “guy”. “Which” is emphasizing the name.
