Have you ever not known someone's name when they know yours? Like you'd be having a nice, interesting conversation with someone and they totally remember who you are but you have this itching to just ask what their name is.

I'm usually on the other side, people have this tendency to forget my name. I've had quite a few conversations where we'd be in the middle of a conversation and they'd go "Not to be rude, but what's your name again?" blink.gif

Yes this happens to me all the time.

Them: "HEY BRENDEN! HOW ARE YOU??"
Me: "Uh... HEY! sweating.gif"

And they go on and on and I have no idea who they are, or at least don't know their name. Happens at school or the mall a lot.

Doesn't happen to me too much. My name is pretty simple for people to remember. Just a letter. Haha, there's plenty of people though who I know but they probably don't know me. Like people that my friends will talk to and then talk to me. Makes me feel like a stalker to know things about someone and they don't even know my name.

I'm pretty good about remembering names so I never have to ask "So what's your name again?" at the start of conversations, but I've had people forget my name sometimes.

Most of the time people forget my name. I have an ability to remember names from 5 years ago even if I've only spoke one word to them.

For something like the internet, I usually don't pay attention to people's names unless I had one on one contact with them. Or I had to use their name.

I try to find the person's name if I had to talk to them. My last resort is asking, "What's your name again?"

Haha, this topic kind of reminds me of this kid who used to play baseball with my brother. His name's Eric and I always wanted to call him Andrew. He was okay with it though... lol... I don't know why I always wanted to call him Andrew.

^Haha, that makes think of my friend Morgan at school. She always gives people nicknames because for some odd reason shes bad with their real names so she'll give you this off the wall name that no one has ever heard of and thats your name for as long as you know her. Thank goodness my name was easy to remember pinch.gif

i've never had anyone forget my name, but i've forgotten so many other peoples names! it's so embarassing. i have extremely short short-term memory :/ it's not that i don't care about them, it's just that i'm forgetful.

It used to happen at the beginning of the school year, but not anymore because my school is small. But I still don't know some of the freshmen because some of them aren't in my classes.. pinch.gif
I'm usually good with names. Some of my friends, on the other hand, aren't. laugh.gif

Happens to me too, I was talking to this new girl in my year and after a while she just kept nodding and after I was finished she said "What's you name"

blink.gif

She said it kinda rudely actually.

Yah people the other way around, it's the people that don't know me and I know them. They'll get my name semi correct, or totally don't know it...usually they call me 'Michelle' and I'm like...ok then.

I don't find it rude to ask what someone's name is during a conversation. I mean, if they don't remember then...okay! I'm not offended when someone forgets my name, it's not anyone's fault.

that happens to me sometimes, although not too often. it's my mom that is so forgetful - she'll blank on someone's name and ask me who it is right before they say hi. similar to the devil wears prada situation in which meryl streep doesn't keep track of the people who will be at the party, but anne hathaway knows =]

I'm usually pretty good with names but there are occasional times where people know my name and I dont even know who they are. Like I dont think that I have ever met them yet they know my name. So I think and think how they could possibly know my name, through a friend, a class, and then I feel bad that I dont know their name. & then there are other times when ive just completely forgotton a persons name and I know that they had told me. Then I feel extra bad.



But people forget my name all the time either that or they call me the wrong name, like it starts with the same letter or sounds close, julie, julia, jodee,jessica something like that but NOT my name & I hate when I get called the wrong name or mistaken for someone else. That really sucks when not only does someone forget your name but they think you're someone else its like 3490328402arggghhhh!

Yeah, I talk to 6th graders all the time, and they all look alike to me, so it's pretty hard to remember their names. So it'll be like, "Hi Stephanie! Remember me?" and then I'll say, "Uh, yeah...What's your name again? Sorry, I forgottt..."
