Do you ever forget peoples names?

Yes i always forget people name.I don t know why this happen.Even though i know who the person is and the relationships i forget the name.

I have trouble remembering name of persons that I know. I should not be forgetting their name. Sometimes it is embarassing when I can't remember someone's name in the middle of a conversation.

I forget names of my classmate before. About meeting new people is a different story. It depends on how many people I meet. If I meet them at one time and they are more than five it will be hard for me to remember their names, when they had done unforgetable or memorable scene I will remember them. If I meet one or two people then it will not be hard to remember their names.

um..i'm actually pretty good with remembering names.i remember people i went to grade school with.it's numbers i tend to forget,i have to write it down immedietly.

I am usually very good at people's names. When I first met my husband I was a little iffy on names because I hardly saw his family, but with his friends I knew there names a bit more as I saw them more. I remember being very surprised he called his grandparents by their first name as I am not allowed to call my grandparents by their first name, and even whilst talking to my friend's parents, my grandparents always said to call them granny or grandaddy...

yes, i have this problem too,i met one of my college student in the bus which i sit after two years graduation from school.i'm very exciting at the first time.when i open my mouth to shout his name, very embassed that i forget his name,then i rememeber over and over again,finally, i had to give up.only face to him with smile.it is really very embarrassment.good luck and have a nice day!

I am terrible with names. I can forget your name as soon as you tell me it - horrible - yes?

Hello jj. Like you, I also forget people's names sometimes and have to think about it before I can remember it again. I have so many students and sometimes when I can not remember their names, I will just ask them to answer my questions one by one without having to call their names. I feel embarrassed for this.

I had a marvelous teacher in junior high named Dale Smaljohn who taught the class to remember long series of numbers by having us do remembering exercises several times a week. I have always had a problem remembering people's names. I can remember telephone numbers and most addresses but cannot remember names.

I have the same problem and it's embarrassing, especially to those peoples I have met few times, but haven't seen for a while! Sometimes I'll just tell them sorry that I can't remember their names. And if they gave me their names or the person's name again, I'll do my best to put it in my head and hoping it wont happen again.

I do not remember well people's names, which is a very bad habit. I read in a book on how to improve memory. If you intend to remember, the choice goes much higher. And the you can relate the name with his appearance, the occasion where you meet, and the dialogue you have, etc. Just the spelling of the name is not enough.

Yeah it is pretty embarrassing sometimes. I can barely ever remember a persons name even after I met them a second ago. It is so bad. I have to constantly replay their name in my head so I don't forget it.

i do that mainly with the kids and the cats,my kids and cats get called all sorts of names,bless them,but i quite often see people in the supermarket and they'll smile and say hi,and for the life of me i can't remember who they are

hi jj, not very much about the names. but about the person like age and birthday and what country he/she is from.. that's what i easily forget especially if we dont contantly chat or talk. i find it very embarrassing the next time that we talk that i had to ask again. i need to do some writing so that i can recall these items. ann

Yes, I do sometimes forget peoples names. If bugs me when I can not think of their names and if my husband is with me I will ask him. Sometimes he knows right off other times he is no help. I will even ask some friends if they know that person name and sometimes get an answer. Well now I know it is not just me that has that problem.

Yes I do specially if I am not interested meeting that person. LOL!! I may sound bitter its true. But there is really a time wherein I find it hard to remember names if if I know that person for a long time..

Yes this happens to me sometimes. Its like the persons name just pops out of my head. It can be people I have know for a very long time and have seen lots but its still happens! My husband is terrible with names and often calls people completely random names, I struggle sometimes to understand who he is referring to!

Sometimes it has happened with me but not so frequently.Mostly I am good at remembering names as i dint like to embarrass others .If I dont know the name than i prefer to keep quite and try to remember it.,or may be i catch it while others are addressing him.

That is really normal. Peoples names are really hard to memorize. Especially when you don't get to meet the person often you can tend to forget. Also there are many duplicate names such as Mark, John etc. So you have to remember which Mark did what ? Which John did that ?

Yeah it easy to forgot peoples names. When i meet my old friends, i forgot their name ven i remember their face. Sometime i shock when somebody call my name but i dont remember him/her at all.
