People you don't know that well sure, but kids your own age that you not only see and play with everyday, but actually live with? Hell, I still remember a lot of names and faces of kids I went to Elementary school with and I'm almost ten years older now than any of the main characters in FFVIII are supposed to be.
But most of them stopped seeing eachother, after certain age. And don't forget most of them still remembered eachother just not completly. Squall and Seifer still remembered eachother deep down, which is why they were enemies - they just didn't know why they hated each other so much, Squall recognised Edea's name but didn't know where. Etc.

Also what did you think of Cloud's memories being corrupted? Because the thing with the GFs making Squall and friends forget is pretty much the same, just done differently.
