"How did Claire know Bobs name , given that Alice only knows Bob from one ride home?"

Given the other evidence, I'd guess that Claire lives in Bob's neighborhood, and knows a little bit about them. Claire saw Bob and Alice go to Bob's house, stole the purse, and knew that blaming it on Bob would sound plausible.

The unproven supposition in my logic is indeed that Claire knows Bob, but it's fairly plausible. I've lived in my house for five years. I know most of the birth dates* of the people who live beside and across from me, and the ages of the ones under 30.

*from parties or feeding their cat while they are holiday, plus my kid is friends with all the other hood rats
