How does it make you feel when people can not remember your name?

I don't mind so much. I try to remind them of my name - if they insisted on calling me someone elses name that might upset me a bit, but I an REALLY bad with name, so I give people a lot of grace on this!

I feel ok if someone cannot remember my name because I am open minded,I do not care about this, I may think that they may have too many friends or just be forgettable mind people. But for those who are working on some clinet based work, it is very importnt for you to remember your clients' names or they may feel you do not respect to them.

Ha..I am awful guilty on not getting the name correct but I when my name is not guessed and someone doesnt get it right, ken, I simply smile and tell the person my name.. Most times it could be they have your face there before the mind and never intend to insult you. Actually in your case, ken, I hope I got it right..I had a very good friend named Kevin who grew up near me and you resemble here. So if I call you Kevin..take it as a compliment ..You even look alot like him. Course it doesnt change how you feel inside about your own name..but realizing you remind someone of someone nice..should make you happy. I know I stumble each time I go to write your response..you remind me very much of my old friend Kevin from Wisconsin.

LOL honestly I think its funny really...MIND YOU I am also very aware that ppl get confused with my name situation because I actually go by 4 different names (not including Raven which ppl OFFLINE who know me from ONLINE do call me).....so ya I dont get bothered by it at all...

if people can't remember my name i felt that i haven't done enough to make an impact to the person, impact in such way that she/he will remember me. It happened to be before. and sometimes i also forgot the name of the person.. but i try to keep my cool and ask a person about the name of the other. in secret of course. a family member can't forget your name, except ofcourse whan it comes to your extented family.

I don't really get offended if someone can't remember my name. I am bad at remembering names myself. If I can't remember someone's name, though, I just don't try to guess and call them "Bob" or whatever... haha. I'd rather be called nothing than the wrong name, I think.

i get insulted when someone can't remember my name especially if they are someone really close to me or used to be close to me. it would be a deeper insult if they call me by another name. that would be really upsetting. when it comes to spelling my name, i am used to it. people usually mispell my name. i am mary anne but usually, they spell it without an E. maybe because most ann's are spelled without a letter E. and so, i don't feel so bad about it.

Well, I do expect friends to remember my name but casual acquaintances, it doesn't bother me. I forget names all the time so I guesss I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to others not remembering mine.

It doesn't upset me at all. The reason? I have a terrible memory for names. I can seldom remember a person's name after being introduced once. I usually need to see that person at least 3 or 4 times before the name and the face become connected in my brain. To make things worse, my brain will sometimes decide that someone I've known for a long time reminds me of someone else. In cases like that, I'll start to call the person by the other person's name without even being aware of it. It can be very embarrassing.

I have a very unusual name (Genesis) so I am used to people forgetting it. They either remember because it is so different, or they forget because it isn´t a normal name! And many, many people have called me Jennifer or Genevieve. :) It just comes with the territory. It doesn´t bother me because I am not that good with names either.

Well, it kinda depends on the person, if it was just an acquaintance from some party then i really wouldn't mind at all, but if its a friend especially someone that i have spent some time with- i would be slightly offended... When i was in highschool some of my schoolmates always kept calling me by my classmates name because we looked alike- and sometimes, it does annoy me... im not even close to this person but they kept on interchanging our names. I dont feel insulted, i just get irritated. I know my classmate feels the same way too... =)

Yes, i feel so bad and i dissappointed alot when the people who likes me lot did not remember my name, but at that time, i will make them to get idea about my name, and love on me how much they have. then it will beocme easy, and it gives me happy , saitsfaction. bcos we don't get serious if the perrsons who close to us forgets our names, bcos they are good friends to us, A FRIEND IN DEED IS A FRIEND INDEED.

Most often poeple do such mistakes.often many forget the names.personally i feel that i havent done enough to impress such persons so that they remember me.and we should never expect anyone to remember us as soon as we meet them.people often tend to forget many as everyday we meet new people.and if its the case with your coleegues itself who work with you since months then it must be for fun or it must be your pet name they have christinesd

honestly, i feel really bad when someone mispell my name or forget my name. But i learned to accept that forgetting someones name is unavoidable. Infact, I also forget names at times and when I did i felt so embarassed.

well that's funny. anyway i am the person who doesn't remember names, but i feel shamed not to remember someone's name so i just ask someone else to remnd me the other name. and so when people dont remeber my name i dont feel ofended, but i dont get man of the situations, usualy im suprised that people acctualy remember my name, but well maybe it's becoz i have unusual name, they just often consider it as my nickname. and even if they call me other name on purpose i have nothing against it, i just dont response when i dont hear my name so they are forced eventually to call me correct name.

Ohhhh I simply hate that!! I have a very good friend who would misspell my name and that drove me crazy. I got so mad that I fought with him one day..lol Of course he corrected it later. I haven't had people calling me by other names, but misspelling has happened more than a couple of times. I know people tend to forget names, I do that too, but when I do I refrain from calling them something else, instead I politely ask them for their name again.

Well if you "friend " can't remember your name then maybe they have a problem...they might have that problem with everyones name ..I myself am terrible at remembering names ...i can't imagine if you have a name plate on your desk that they can't remeber your name uts right in front of theym ...could be they are teasing you ?? I never feel insulted when people can't rremember my name as I said I have a hard time doing it myself so I can't expect someone to when I can't ...lol If your Mother couldn't remember your name then yes you definetly are in trouble ...lol but I am sure its just some people have a rough time with names ..hope you don't feel bad ...take in stride and make a joke with the next person who had=s forgottten your name and maybe that will help them to remember you ... :D

I feel upset about that alot. I am surprised if anyone even knows that I exist. I think people look through me like I am invisible or something. I don't think anyone has ever purposely called me by another name. I'm lucky if I get greeted with any name. People misspell my name all of the time. Most people spell their name with one " n " in it and mine has two. I would definitely feel insulted if someone knew my name and did not call me by it, but insteadpurposely called me a name they knew wasn't mine. It wouldn't surprise me these days if my family called me by another name because it has been a long time since I seen some of them and they may not even know who I am now.

Maybe just a little. I used to meet so many people a day that it is hard for me to remember their names too. :P I do try pretty hard and my effort usually pays off in that it is more common to see them forgetting my name then me forgetting theirs. It's easier for people to be remembered when you are an active participant (instead of passive) at any event. I remember people coming up to me and saying they enjoyed my xxx at xxx, I was smiling at them and pretending I know what they were talking about. (Just being polite you see..) Especially if you have not seen each other for a long time, it makes it even more likely that you have forgotten their names. I know remembering names is tough for practically everyone so I am not that offended if they forget mine. I sure hope they are not offended too if I forget theirs! :P

So long as the person isn't my best friend, or a member of my nuclear family I don't have a problem with it. I have a hard time with peoples names sometimes too, especially right after meeting someone for the first time.
