But seriously: the majority of people have problems remembering names. You just have to become comfortable with the fact and maybe apologize upfront. People are not only understandable but relieved (because they too forgot your name while you were vocalizing it).
If you flat out say I’m sorry I already forgot your name in the middle of talking to them it’s actually a good thing. For the most part. Then you both have a little chuckle, trade names again, both say how you never remember names. “Oh tell me about it, same here” etc
It creates a little more of a memory for both of you.
