Are you good or bad at remembering names?

[reecejackox]

I would say so
Although there have been times where people have known my name but I haven't had a clue what their name is

I am good with faces (which is weird because I'm not a visual person and can never describe things I've seen) but TERRIBLE with names. I'm also terrible with dates, remembering birthdays, etc. I have to have a billion reminders set everywhere.

I’m decent at it. If you repeat the name back to them after they say it , it usually sticks . Also , try to think of something to connect it to . Our neighbors are Jason and Carrie . Horror movie names !

Horrible lol I work in maintenance management so I hear so many names, from contractors, I don’t even try to keep up anymore.

I am horrible with names. Especially with the literally hundreds of people I worked with over my 40+ year career.

I already forgot the question, so that explains a little about me

 

[Meriweather]

good....unless it has been years and years between seeing people

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

I’m terrible!

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Bad. I’m much better at remembering numbers.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

It’s challenging, but I try hard to remember, especially with new people at work. I’m more likely to remember where they live, which is weird.

I'm awful at names! If I don't write it down (or type it into the notes app on my phone) within a few minutes of meeting someone, it's gone.

I know all of the dogs names in the neighborhood but struggle with the owners.

I can remember what a person looks like and what I know about them but not their names. It's really frustrating, especially since I have a very unusual name so everyone remembers it.

I joke that if I was Supreme Leader everyone would have to wear a nametag.

I'm really bad. I tend to re-name people to what I think they should be named. I had a boss once and her name was Elizabeth. For some unknown reason, I kept calling her Charlotte. I would be talking to a coworker and would say, "did you get the meeting notes from Charlotte?'' She would look at me puzzled and say, "Who is Charlotte?" I would kind of nod and say, "Oh, I mean Elizabeth." I have no Idea why I thought she should be Charlotte. LOL!

Terrible I always remember faces. I almost never remember names.
