Can you remember people's names easily?

Hi! I could remember the names of those people with who I get in touch on regular basis. It is possible that if I have met a person only once and I have no common interest with him/her, I may forget his/her name.

depend the name, short name more easily to remember than long name.

When i meet someone new i do not ask their names right away. I keep until we are about to say goodbye. After that i keep the name in my thought. I visualize the face and the easiest way to identify. Once i do this, i don't forget their name. I usually use their names during our conversation if we are newly acquaintance and usually the full name of the person.

I am very forgetful about people's name just as well. In fact there are times that even those whom I know for long,I sometimes forget their name and could only remember after a while. That is memory gap or what? Well I think most people are like because most of my friends also tell the same thing about their forgetfulness experience. Now if there are those who are very sharp in remembering names, lucky are them.

hi:) Most of the time I can remember their names even if just first introduced to me, but I can remember better their faces, so even if sometimes they wasn't actually introduced if I saw them with my friends, I still recall them once I see them again. what I don't recall is streets name and addresses, I'm really bad at that even if I've been to that places many times, I still forget.

I am not a person who is able to remember every names who I has interacted with. I find it is really difficult to remember it all at once but it becomes easy when we interact with the persons each day. When we interact with them unknowingly we have the names in our mind. I don't know how I studies it. I think it is a simple human behavior or character . What do you think ?

I am not very good at people names either and sometimes it can be embarrassing especially when I have already been introduced. It is rather strange because my memory for other things is quite good. I tend to remember numbers like pin-numbers and account numbers quite easily and I realized that I need to focus and concentrate more on the names. But it didn't work too well and I read a book on remembering. You look at the person who is introduced and like their name to a picture in your mind. The more ridiculous the image, the more likely are to remember the name. A name like Jill if it's a woman for instance, you would visualize her with her brother coming down the hill with a pale of water - as in the children's nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.. If you don't think that is strong enough an image, imagine the pale of water balancing on her head. The next time you look at her face, you would remember her name. I tried it, and it really worked, but the problem it the mind likes to be lazy and go back into its old ways, but if you can get into the habit of making crazy images of people in your mind linked to their name in this way, then you should always remember names. But I wouldn't tell them what you are imagining about them or they may feel unsulted... But there again, some people get upset if you can't remember their name! _Derek

I used not to remember the names of the people who are introduced to me actually.Maybe because they are not that important persons. But i noticed that for the past months, i can already remember the names of the person if they are introduced to me. Or maybe it really took the effort to memorize them. One such incident is when 5 male and female members of CPAs were introduced to me, for me to assist. I really memorized their names when i asked them listed in a piece of paper. Then , i spoke each name as they introduced themselves. Whew, after that i was able to call them by their names. I associated their face with their name. Like the guy with eyeglasses was. . .

For me it's not too hard. Although I may forget when I never seen them or haven't really talked to them. But once I get to see their faces and have a little chat with them I would have their names in my mind. It will take long years to forget a name of a person, usually I forget names of those whom are not actually my friends.

No I can not. It is very difficult for me. If you only can not match faces and names, I can not remember the names completely. I still can remember the face. So I usually try to have the picture and write the name on it. A modern cell phone can help me remember people's name.

sometimes i do so

No 06MLam.. I am not one among theose people who are gifted with good memory to rememer every single person they meet. I have a pretty decent memory and I try my level best to remember the names, but have had my share of embarassing moments confusing people's names. I sometimes try to make a mental picuture of a person and his features ( Its something I read somehwere ), but unfortunately it is not foolproof and still the old problem of forgetting names persists, when I meet a large no. of people.

I am not one of them, but sometimes it is already in our nature. Even we don't like it, it just happen.

Depends on the person and the conditions when i meet them.... I kind of remember their name if they do something that makes a great impact on my mind... But is their name is kind of complicated,i might take time to memorize it.. It may vary from person to person...

There are times when I can remember people's names easily. I think that it just depends on several different things. Sometimes, it's more difficult for me to actually remember people's names.

two things i am terrible at are remembering names and remembering directions. like you i often forget the names of people just a short time after they are introduced to me, and i can easily get lost to places specially when the place has many turns even i've been to that place several times.

Remembering someone'nam,e was always something that seemed to come easily to me. i muight remember a name befor i remember their face. It doesn't take effort or pondering for me to come up with a name no matter how much time may have passed.

Usually I remember the names in a easy manner. At the same time if my mind got any confusion about the accuracy of a name, then it is very difficult to recollect that name. There were many occasions I found myself in deep trouble when some distant relatives requested me to fill up some forms for them, in which there name to be added. For some moments that particular name wouldn't reach in my mind.

Hi 06MLam, I have to admit that I am that person who forgets almost everthing. I can see a phone number on TV as soon as its gone from the TV screen its gone from my mine...I have the disease C R S... Can't Remember S%%T. But if I get a minute I can remember names and it I don't remember the name I have no problem saying I forgot the name but I remember the face......Thats the best I can do...Be honest....LOL

Stress is one root cause of forgetfulness. This is true in my case. Ever since I retired from office work, deadlines and the rest, my memory improved and I am more organized than before. But then again, this does not apply to anyone. On some people old age triggers their forgetfulness.
