the man who remembers all the names

In our congregation, we have this brother in faith who greets us by our complete names. He is our circuit overseer, it means he travels around to oversee the 20 congregations in the cities. So just imagine the number of people he meets. In one congregation, there are 115 people on average or 100. It flatters us, because on our 3rd day of meeting him, he remembers us all. This is my weakness, recalling the names. I can easily remember faces but not names. What about you?

I am good at recalling names. I recall the names of all the children I have worked with along with their siblings and parents.

As for the full name I don't think I can remember all of them.

I'm not good at remembering name or face. In some culture, that would consider very rude. I would've been in a huge trouble.

I don't have that talent at all. I have to write everything down and then forget where I put it.
