Tom Riddle is named after his father, Tom Riddle and his grandfathers name was Marvolo and thats where the middle name had come from
In the forth book, the gardner that everyone in town thinks killed the riddles says he saw a teenager sneaking around. That was Voldermort. He killed his father and his grandparents on that side.
But as of right now I only have two people on my list of who might be the HBP
Tom Riddle
Hagrid

In the book it said Bellatrix screamed out in pain and then whiped her smile off her face, so he did cause her pain, he just couldn't hold the curse on her because A) her defenses are most likely way higher then Harry's offensive abilities and B) It was his first time ever performing the curse
Hatred rose in Harry such as he had never known before. He flung himself out from behind the fountain and bellowed "Cruico!"
Bellatrix screamed. The spell had knocked her off her feet, but she did not writhe and shriek w/ pain as Neville had - she was already on her feet again, breathless, no longer laughing....
"Never used an unforgiveable curse before, have you, boy?" she yelled. She had abandoned her baby voice now. "You need to mean them, Potter! you need to really want to cause pain - to enjoy it - righteous anger won't hurt me for long - i'll show you how it is down, shall I? I'll give you a lesson -"
so we both had valid points....anyways....
I still don't think it can be Tom...in OotP, when DD and Voldy are fighting in the Ministy, DD calls Voldy Tom...doesn't that kinda prove they're the same person?

It couldn't have been Voldermort's father TOm, because @half a century a go@ as the books says Voldermort's father couldn't have been so young.
What this still doesn't rule out the possibility of Voldy's brother being the HBP
I have read something in another forumns which was written by dildodore...The imformation in it is good...That person metioned this
"I reckon its Hagrid... I mean, what do we really know about him? Apart from the fact that he is the only real Half Blood in any of the books to date. We know he is a wizard of sorts. But we dont know very much about his past. His father was a human wizard, and his mother was a giantess. Now did she have any royalty in her???
It cant be Dumbledore's brother, or else Dumbledore himself would be a prince. It can't be Ron Weasley, or else all his brothers would be princes too...
It can't be Firenze, because although he is half man half horse, that is his breed, he is a centaur, and thats what they are, half man, half horse...
It cant be Dudders either, if it was, then all then all of Lily and Petunia's family would be royal, thereby Harry would be royalty too.
And as far as Tom Riddle is concerned... He is Lord Voldemort...
Listen to what Tom says in "The Chamber of Secrets".
It could be Nicholas Flamel, but I personally doubt it. At the age that he is, living for centuries with the powers of the Philosophers Stone, wouldn't he be more than just a prince, he would have outlived the King, and become the King years ago!!!
It has to be someone who is half-breed (half-blood)... Maybe we havent come across this character yet, and JKR is going to introduce this character to us when the book comes out!!!"
So the HBP will be the ONLY boy in his family (maybe can have a sister but no borther)....So this info really shortens our list....

I have three.
Hagrid
Dean Thomas
(a new character) 🙂
Of the known characters, I think it's gotta be Hagrid. His mother was a queen, and his brother was the ruler of the giants before he got overthrown. We know he's a half blood, and there's the royalty bit....
The possibility that the HBP could be a new character is always there, but I think that it is highly unlikely.
I'm not so sure it is Dean Thomas since JKR sacrificed his story to tell Neville's. But Seamus Finnegan is also a half blood. However, Hagrid's role in the stories is much bigger than that of any other student, and gets progressively bigger w/ each book (most importantly CoS and OotP--the book w/ the clue, and the book preceding the 6th, respectively)
here is a very strange idea ..... i dont think it s possible myself ....but
if voldy manages to fill harry with so much hate that his "Love" (wot held held him from residing in harrys body) is burryed deep
maby voldy could enter harrys body and they could become one person and together they would be the HBP
