Do you remember names?

Yes, except for the ones I forget.

I think I would be better with names if they were numbers.

I don't normally forget peoples names, but I often forget to listen when people tell me their name (when I meet someone new I'm often thinking of what I'm gunna say next when they tell me).

If we've talked before, then yes I can remember your name.

I'm terrible both at remembering faces and names, takes me a long time to remember them, unless the person is ugly in a very special way, then I remember them right away.

I'm around the middle, I'd have to meet them a few times, if I think I'll see them again I'll even go so far as to make a note in my phone of the person's name just so they won't feel upset(has happened once).

I have to meet someone a few tine usually to remember their name. I'm a dingbat. I do remember birthdays like nobody's business though

I'm liable to forget someones name 10 seconds after hearing it.

I'm usually terrible with names, especially with female names.

Last option, very much so.

I have a hard time. I have to say their name over and over again in my head to remember it and even then I have to think hard when trying to remember. Depends on how often I see them too. I never forget a face though.

I always find it odd when the same person reintroduces themselves to me. Sometimes I'll pretend that we never met. Then we have the EXACT same conversation. ;P

I can see how this would bother you. I'm actually terrible with names, unless i talked to the person individually or i have a memory to tie with their name. I have been this way since I was a child and have tried to make efforts to remember names, but I have only succeeded in frustrating myself.

I make the effort to say something to the person from our last encounter to let them know I remember who they are, just not their names.

I think I'm more of a visual person. I usually forget names, but never a face. It's the most annoying thing when I know I've seen their face before or I'm sure I've met that person but I can't remember their name.

I'm quite good with names. The more unusual the name the better I tend to remember it. Probably because I repeat it in my mind a few times. That way it gets "anchored" in my memory. Plain and very common names on the other hand are a lot more forgettable to me.

I'm bad with names and faces :S

if I'd even care to remember names there might be hope. I already know the names of my family, the rest can have nicknames.

i'm good at remembering the names of people i actually care to talk to further, or who makes a big impression on me. but just being introduced to random peoples friends and such, i really don't care what their name is and i forget it right after they say it.

I'm terrible with names but never forget a face.

terrible with names, nicknames makes it easier, and cooler (obviously)
