I dunno... I think Denethor and Boromir were close. You can see that in the relationship Denethor has with Faramir. Of course, since Tolkien doesn't say, it is just guess work on my part.

But Restorer is right. If the kings had been gone for 1000 years from Gondor, how would Boromir have recognized the name of Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Do you have any ideas?

It's just my opinion, but I see Denethor as too proud to go whining about Thorongil to anybody. And Boromir doesn't seem to resent Aragorn on the journey south.

Not unless he recognized the name "Aragorn" from one of the old kings. Isn't our Aragorn "Aragorn II." But still that old king would have been from the Northern Kingdom and I'm not sure if the Gondor folk would keep up with Northern Kingdom lineages.
