In this case, can we use ‘would’?

I was amazed someone would know my name.
(source)

In that situation, can would be used?

Answer

Yes, although it’s a matter of context more than anything. Just taking the sentence by itself, it’s better to have:

I was amazed that someone would know my name.

If you can give more context, I can provide a better answer for you.
