Names

I'm pretty bad at remembering people's names. So I give them nicknames.

Sounds like some wishful thinking on her dad and her parts. Incest is best~

I'm good with names, you kinda have to be when you're a teacher.

I am freaking terrible, it's embarressing.

I would say I'm pretty good with remembering names after I am told or finding out some way indirectly. On occasion I may forget when my contact with said person is extremely low or if I'm forced to remember several names at once.

I am hideously awful

Well at least I know you'll remember my name cause my dress habits a pretty unique!

Lots of people get really angry at my disability to remember names. Still, I was still quite annoyed when someone who I had started to go out with had to ask for my name again about three times... But I didn't say I was annoyed.

I'm having to learn many new names here at University, and it's really hard. xD I'm baaad at it.

Normally if I'm putting someone's number into my phone and I've forgotten their name, I ask "how do you spell that?" I remember faces before I remember names, so sadly I have to rely on this alot. But the good news is, it's pretty effective.

I'm really really good with names, to the point where it kinda creeps people out. Like when they have no idea who I am, but I know their name. *shrug* I just pay attention.

I'm great with names, but only if I care to know. Otherwise, I rely on other people to say that person's name, then I'll start using it. That and cell phone entries.

It usually takes me about five or so introductions... but I really enjoy calling people by full names n_n!

When I first got pulled into the music scene, I couldn't remember names for the life of me, but a few weeks had me straightened out and I'm actually really good at it now.
XD

I forget names even if they introduced themselves. After a while, I even forget faces.

"Hey Dennis, how are you?"
"Heeeeeeey... you. It's been... How have you been?"
