| What's your name again? |
| I suck big on names. It's even worse because I have a huge family and whenever I meet some cousin or aunt from god knows where, the first thing they ask is: You remember me? I knew you from since you were so small. -_- I do recognize them but I can't remember their names for the life of me. |
| Yes. Stick me in a classroom with ten kids for a year and I still won't remember half their names. |
| meeting a person for the first time, definitely. not so much in the "knowing them for years" way... thats kinda weird. |

| I'm bad at remebering names. I'm a bit better at remembering nicknames though, those somehow get better associated. |
| If I only need to remember a few names at a time, then it's fine. A decently large group of people at once is pretty much impossible, more so when their names sound foreign to my ears. |
 |
| Hell no. |
| There's this one girl in my group, and I can never remember her name. Maybe I should just call her bro. |
| Extremely, I hardly use them any way and in fact I would be unconcerned with if people just changed them or every one addressed me with a different name, which happens actually. Names are only part of people's identity for idiotshumans. Intonation identifies who addresses whom. |
| I dont remember the names of people I find insignificant |
| I am very, VERY bad with name's. It always chauses emberisment to me >/////< |
| For me after i meet someone i often forget there name and i have to ask it agen once or twice. Embarrassing, tbh >.< |

| There's a big difference between forget and err. I do remember people's names. I just call them by another name xD, but I know how they names are :) |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| I'm TERRIBLE with this. I remember faces, but names just don't work for me. I even forget my friends names sometimes... |

| Hell yes. I have to strain to remember even the names of my favorite characters of all time. You can probably figure out how I do with cousins and the like. |
| This is a serious post. You're not allowed to delete it. |
| If I'm with one person alone I would probably remember their name as long as I interact with them a little, but in a classroom or work setting where there are a bunch of people, I am terrible at remembering names. |
| It may sound rude. But I can only remember the names of ppl that are important to me. That's all. |
| I'm bad with names. Very bad. When being introduced to people in a group, names go straight over my head. Though oddly enough, not knowing people's names hasn't been too hard for me. When I talk to someone, they know who they are. I can openly talk with a person in class for an entire year and never know their name. |
| Yes. It took me 5 months to remember this one girls name. and I sat with her during lunch every day :l |
| i have a little trouble with remembering names if i havent seen them as much as some of my friends |
     |
| I'm wonderful at it. |
| I'm back. |
| I can remember the names of the people who I talk to almost regularly. Other than that, I couldn't remember the names of half of my class in my university days xD Some of them come up to me and talk and avoid showing that I don't his/her name... |
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny- Lao-Tze. |
| No. I usually remember pretty quickly, unless the name is too long. |
| Yes (your vote). |
| Needs more Drill Hair. |
| I remember names but not the person's face xD Almost all people look alike to me so I sometimes mistake one person or another. |
| If I know the person irl or have a face to connect with the name, it's no problem at all. |
| ... Even if I took time to write alot of intelligent words of deep thought and meaning in my signature, would you really care to read and comment on it? ... |
| 1st day - I meet someone, never ask for name 2nd day - they call my name I reply "you never told me your name" 3rd day - I forget and cycle repeats until I remember |
| With ugly people...yeah. Very. |
 |
| Depends on the name, if its super common and there is someone I know of with a similar name then I will most likely get people's names mixed up. Remembering names isn't the hard part for me, its much harder to match the name to the person at times. |

| Pretty good at it as long I've talked to them for a little. But just an introduction and then bouncing without saying another word wouldn't leave anything for me to remember them by. |
| no. i still fuck up my room mates name even. |

| Oddly enough, I'm good at remembering names, but not so great at remembering people's faces. |
| Oh Hell Yea! Faces + Names = my specialty XD Sometimes I can even tell twins apart from each other =] |
| Heyy youu... errr emmm sssshhhh... WhasSt Up?! :D |
| Yes. I have trouble remembering my own name sometimes. I have more ease remembering nicknames than real names. I also have trouble associating names within a group when the people are very similar in the way they look. There is a group of 4 girls in my class that I have no idea of what their names are because they are all clones and I can't distinguish them facially. >.< So I usually refer to people by "hey you". Also, since I spend my social imprinting years in absolute solitude it freaks me out when people call me by my own name and I have trouble calling them by their names as well. For closer people I usually replace their names by "son", "dear" or "man/woman". I have trouble remembering the names of my best friends, because I know them for some mysterious nickname they don't remember themselves (but that I still remember) |

| People have names! When did this happen. |
| ..i probably have the worst memory,especially when it comes to trivial stuff like schoolmates,gossip,passersby.....i dont take the time to note little things around me,and i only remember things that stood out or those that are really important like schoolwork (nerdy much? ^^)..but i'll change....eventually... :) |
| That depends, really. If they are striking, then I have no problem; however, if they're pretty average and/or quiet, I often forget as soon as they leave my presence for more than a few hours. Whether or not my relationship with them is something I perceive as important is also a relevant factor. |
| My monkey circle is pretty small and its closed so if I don't talk to you at least 3 times a week there is no way I can remember a name.(Monkey circle is the idea that we are inherit a number of certain number of people that you can view as being actually human and anyone past this number becomes difficult to remember unless another person in your monkey circle is removed.For example if someone in my monkey circle was injured I could emotionally sympathize with them but if they where outside my circle that I don't emotionally view as a human being I wouldn't really care. ) |

| I'm criminally bad. People become "what's his face" and "what's her name" in no time. |
-- Zune Social - this is the treatment for my ears.
| So bad. Coming back from summer school, I almost forgot everyone in my grade's names. And i've been going to school with them for 4 years straight now. Plus, I grew up with a number of them. |
