And usually say "I remember YOU, but your name escapes me at the moment!" <br /><br />My mom just told me today that she forgot her last name when someone wanted to introduce her to another person. But she was married twice and her current surname is one she has only had for a fraction of her life, and she just turned 89, so I think she can be given quite a bit of slack. She gave her former surname instead, which I thought was quick thinking :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-9953371574760499322019-01-27T23:38:05.680+00:002019-01-27T23:38:05.680+00:00Occasionally I am the one who remembers the name a...Occasionally I am the one who remembers the name and I see the other person squirming in their forgetfulness.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-89430731428887560242019-01-27T23:36:49.563+00:002019-01-27T23:36:49.563+00:00I suspect they will see through your cunning subte...I suspect they will see through your cunning subterfuge ADDY... or is it Maddy?

Introducing people from diplomats to dukes was a necessary part of that. I was good at names. Then one day I forgot a name of 'someone who considered he mattered'. He complained. It changed my life. I became totally insecure with names. On one occasion I actually couldn't remember my wife's name when introducing her. It has blighted my life ever since. I have tried every trick ever written about but to no avail. I'm sure that if that incident had happened now I would have been 'straightened out' immediately by a person who straightens people out but not then. One of the great benefits to me of the smartphone is carrying names around. If I go somewhere eg a local café or hospital visit I check all the names I'm likely to meet first.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.com
