Separately, I’m paranoid about forgetting people’s names, so for me (as other people are describing here) I find it helps to come up with a visualization or link their name to an idea: This guy I just met is named Dylan is bald, and Bob Dylan has crazy hair. The person up the street is named Beth like the KISS song. My favorite was a person named Mika, who was from Yakima, and who introduced herself by saying “I put the _mika_ in _Yakima_.” That was someone I barely knew more than five years ago and I’ll probably still have that one rolling around in my head if I still exist twenty years from now.
