Fascinating, I have issues sometimes _remembering_ certain names in the first place (I've not yet discerned the pattern here...), but I cannot recall ever experiencing the variant of name confusion in the manner you are describing.
- codezero 5y agoYou may remember names by conjuring an image of the person, or a memory of them. Hard to say until you figure out the pattern. It took me a good 30+ years to notice it. It also affects general recall for me. If I think a name might start with h, or be long, it may hurt my ability to recall it if it were th and short :)
