Are there certain words or names you just can't remember?

And I'm not necessarily talking about senior moments here. There's a street near my house. I often do business there. My friend Ko has moved her Thai restaurant there now. I got new tires for one of my trucks there. When I describe that street to friends, I say "the mostly Mexican street that begins with 'm'." They immediately get it. As I type, I can't remember the name of the street. But I can remember the name "Milpas," the mostly Mexican street from Santa Barbara where I went to graduate school more than 30 years ago. Another tough one for me is Eva Cassidy, the wonderful singer who died too young of cancer. Twenty years ago, when I could not use "old age" as an excuse for forgetting things, both my music partner and I could never remember her name, though we both worshiped her singing.. It just happened to pop into my mind as I was typing. Maybe I'll attach a link to her version of a Sting song. Apparently he wept when he heard it. I also have words that I always found difficult to spell. For years, even when I was in graduate school, I struggled to spell "restaurant." There are other words that still bug me (we can all be forgiven for having to look up "hemorrhoids"), but I cant think of them right now. I have no trouble with things like "there," "they're" and "their." Do you have certain words or names that sometimes befuddle you? A couple of times (maybe four) over the past 20 years, I have even said, "You know...the handsome guy who played in Dances with Wolves and a bunch of other movies." Yes, I can remember his name right now.
