How many people did you forget almost immediately, after meeting them...

What was it about them that made No impression on you, even though they expect you to have remembered their names, even in the short term...

Out of sight - Out of Mind...

I regularly meet a lot of people, so it can be tricky to remember everyone's names all the time. That being said, I think I do a pretty decent job remembering - and if I do forget - I simply own up to it. Everyone I meet makes some sort of impression on me … some more than others, of course.

Now, people are constantly forgetting my name because it's unusual, or they don't know how to pronounce it. I get called "Red" more than anything else and I'm used to that by now.

I too have an unusual name...and get all sorts of derivatives...very irritating...

I forget all names unless they make some impression on me...and even then I have to really think to remember...I'm just Not into names...as I remember the person...if they make an impression on me...else it's really out of sight out of mind...
