I don't know her name...

I think you should just be honest and say I know I know you but for the life of me I can't remember your name, make a joke of it and laugh about your poor memory, say something like OMG I must be having a seniors moment or something like that...This happens to everyone, this happened to me a couple of months ago and I just said...Oh i know the face but I am never good with remembering names....just be honest...

[i]Hi Anne, How about asking any lady at work? I do know if that is the right thing to do but just get a great timing looking at her ID! It happened to me several times but I only meet them in the mall or streets unlike in your situation, you will see her often! I hope you will find a way to get her name! Or maybe check your previous notes, you know, it might be there![/i]

I think you should just be honest. Tell her you remember her from college but you couldn't for the life of you remember her name and admit you felt guilty about having to ask. I normally tell people I don't remember their names if I don't, but remember them. I have also had people tell me that and honestly I didn't feel offended.

Well, just be honest and ask for her name.. i mean, there's nothing wrong with that.. but if you're too shy then ask your other officemates if they know her name..

That happened to me once, not in that same scenario but someone that I had met before came up to me very excited to see me and I had the slightest idea who she was or what her name was. I was sitting there smiling and talking trying to fight the urge to ask her what her name was so I just had to do it. I just smiled and as politely as possible I asked and "what is your name again." I tried to be polite, I couldn't stand being there not having a clue as to whom I was talking to. Later on my sister told me I was rude for that but I didn't care if she felt as though I was being rude that wasn't my intention to be rude I just simply wanted to know who it was that I was talking to. Even after the lady told me her name I still didn't know who she was, even after my sister told me who she was after she said that I was rude for that I still didn't know who she was. She remembered me though so I just smiled and played along but I just had to ask her name.

Sneak a peak at her name tag/boob when she's not looking! And if you can't do that, ask another co-worker if they know what her name is. And if all else fails..just ask! Tell her you have a horrible time with names, and not a very good memory. :/

I have been in such situations a few times when I did not know what to do except for looking very dumb and guilty. If and when I remembered later, it felt extremely stupid. But in most cases, I did not remember at all and had to ask someone else. Is there anyone there whom you can ask? Or else you can ask her to sign something, which is not easy if her job does not require that! The best thing is to try and pretend to clear that ghost spot on her badge and have a glance at the name.

I think you're just going to have to be honest with her! Make it light hearted and blame your failing memory. I'm sure she will be absolutely fine about it. It happens to all of us from time to time.

Hi SaintAnne! I guess it's just right for you to ask her nicely about her name, there's nothing wrong with it at all. You can just do it in a jokingly manner for her not to be offended or whatsoever. Sometimes this happens.

Hi anne! Isn't that the worst! I don't know how you can find out without asking her straight out! Unless you ask someone else what her name is! You could always try that approach! You could try to casually take a fast look at her name tag without being too obvious, although I know how that is! Or you can just keep talking to her as you have been without knowing her name!

Maybe just ask her name, SaintAnne, and tell her that you do remember her but not her name or just have a quick look at her name tag. I think she will understand you and not get upset. I am not good remembering names also, specially with those people I know and haven't seen for a long time.

Same happened to me several times. I keep on having conversation with them already but I can't remember their names. Like you I feel ashamed too asking their names, all I do I tried to recall or see who's with him or her whom I know, in order for me to ask her name. If I don't find a way to know her we just part ways without remembering her name. I understand you, me too, I don't have the nerve to ask their names as they believe I know them very well. In your case you can know her name with her time card or asking someone working there about her name.

If you are in touch with your college mates you can ask her name from them.Since she has been your college mate and know you well so she must be known to some other members of your batch. I hope this will somehow help you in finding her name.

I would suggest that you ask a really good friend of yours at work to find out her name and just remember it.

Try to catch her speaking with someone else and glance at her nametag quickly. Hopefully she won't see you looking at it. I forget people's names all the time. I hate when I have a conversation with someone and can't remember their name. I feel like such an idiot, especially if they address me by name.

a similar incidentt happened to me ,a few years back.i saw a colleague of mine in my work place.come what may,i couldnt remember her name.then i heard my co-workers,addressing her by her name,thays how i came to know her name......

Do you have to wear a uniform in this part time Job? if you don't,you could compliment her on what She's wearing and get a closer look at the nametag that way..She remembers your name ok? try bringing in some sweets..offer her one..that should distract her long enough to get a look in!

i have been in this situation many times and I just blame it on my being bad with names. It would be awkward if I got the name and promptly asked for it again. Cheers!!

Lol, welcome to my life. I'm terrible with names. If I see people outside the usual environment in which I encounter them... no dice I'll remember their name unless they are somebody I see very regularly. Sometimes I don't even know where I know them from although they seem to know me very well, lol. It can be quite embarrassing. Quite frankly, I'd have no problem looking at that darn name tag. She obviously has no problem with people staring at her boobs or she wouldn't place it there, lol. I'm used to staring at name tags anyway. I'm a mystery shopper, lol. It's not like you directly have to stare at it. My gaze kind of swipes by the tag on the way to looking elsewhere. If I can't read it right away, I do it a couple of times. I hope by now you have found out what the name is. I certainly could not have lived with that kind of 'not knowing' for such a long time;)
