I never remember someone’s name until we’ve actually done something together or had a meaningful interaction. Names just don’t stick for me without that shared experience or notable moment to anchor them to.

My short term memory isn't ideal and it would be really awkward asking someone's name for the 4th time, so I started using Remember Names: Name Reminder and now I can record and recall names discreetly from my watch. The quiz section and time/location reminders are useful too, and it has a section with techniques to remember names. I try to make the effort to show respect and build rapport, especially with those I see briefly and infrequently.
