I'm actually great at remembering names.
It's faces that I'm bad with.

It depends on the person. If its someone interesting or important in some way I'll remember, If not I'll forget.

Yeah.
It's really strange too because I have a good memory. But for some reason, unless I mentally tell myself to remember someone's name when I meet them, I'll completely forget it.
And even then, I tend to forget their name.

I'm usually pretty good with names, especially if it's a very unique or common name, or if I already know someone with that name.

I'm pretty bad at it the first time I meet someone. The second (or third) time, I'm a bit better.

I am horrible with names. I try my best, but unless they have some sort of name tag on them, I'll most likely forget. Sometimes I listen to what people tend to call them, or I ask my close friends who might know them since they already know how bad I am at remembering. If they seem like an outgoing person, I'll just tell them how bad I am at names and ask for it again and again and again xDD [Yay for rambling<3]

I'm horrible with names, but I always try to get them anyways so I'm always calling people by other people's names.

Haha this made me remember the time I talked with a friend at 3AM and we were both pretty done for that day.

friend says:
I'm no good with names. To tell the truth, at the moment I can't even recall your surname.
*silence*

Ah, names are ok.

Dates are the hardest thing for me to remember. D:

Man... you have no idea....I have the most horrible "selective" memory ever.... Meaning that I can remember certain things (mainly unimportant things), so to counteract against my failing memory. I give people nicknames..... yeah...lame I know.

I'm terrible with names, and I always let people know too.

I however never forget a face, and I think that makes up for it . . . kinda.

Usually it isn't so bad if I repeat it twice and then ask if 'blah' is their name later on.

Think this is because I've a 'visual' person and very weak with 'verbal'.
