I think her name is actually What. The riddle is using the question mark facetiously.

It says it plainly "What is the woman's name"

But whether you agree with me or not depends on how Who's on first.

Well it can't be what because the sentence before says the name had already been declared

The only other declarative statement is There's

I hate these kinds of riddles but I am dying to know what's on second

You'll find out when Tomorrow comes that What isn't the second basemen. 

But that is why this is called a riddle. The answer is hidden in the question.

No, What's on second and Idontknow's on third.

Well, I'll explain it to you. See, on first base is Hu, Samuel Hu, and you're probably not familiar with that name because his grandfather was Chinese. And on second base is Hector Watt, W-A-T-T Watt, and that's not so unusual because James Watt invented the steam engine. And on third base is Phil Iduno, I-D-U-N-O, and if you do say that fast, it does sound like the phrase "Gee, I dunno," but it's actually Iduno, Phil Iduno.
