Terrible! I shake a persons hand, look at them politely but totally miss hearing the name. I start my new job next week and have been introduced to a good number of them already and I don't remember one name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1961229 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 10:59:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1961229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really good with faces but not names. Like, I can recognize someone I've only met once and haven't seen in a long time. I could tell them exactly where I met them and maybe even what we talked about. But their name - no clue!</p> <p>@Ree723: I've always heard that but it doesn't ever seem to help me any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960812 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 07:04:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1960812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I have done this and it works for me only half the time. An old manager used to say the person's name alot when she first met them. People felt so special plus my manager remembered them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960811 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 06:57:18 +0000 Dandelion 1960811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always remember. I remember where I know them from, too. If I see the grocery cashier at the mall (just an example) I remember who they are. I rarely forget people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960799 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 06:27:15 +0000 lamariniere 1960799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm good with faces and usually ok with children's names, but I often forget their parents' names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960755 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 04:05:44 +0000 Ree723 1960755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read somewhere that the key to remembering a name is to repeat it as once you say it aloud, it forms a new pathway in your brain that cements the name in your memory better than just hearing it. I employ this technique a lot (without being completely obvious and ridiculous in the way in which I repeat their name) and am then usually very good about remembering names. If I don't repeat the name, it goes in one ear and out the other quicker than you can say 'my name is...' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960746 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 02:50:39 +0000 sunny 1960746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I am terrible with names and faces. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960695 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 23:38:18 +0000 Chuckles 1960695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be, but I swear my memory is worse since having my son. I blame sleep deprivation for killing brain cells :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960690 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 23:22:05 +0000 autumnlove 1960690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960688 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 23:19:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1960688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not at all unless it's a name I like. Really it's weird if i have a connection to a name I can easily remember it, otherwise I'll just remember where someone sat and that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960662 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 22:54:00 +0000 littlejoy 1960662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! I loved your 3rd option!! I'm good with faces, but not names!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960661 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 22:53:44 +0000 Mrs. J 1960661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always remember, but I'm a teacher, so it's part of my job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960659 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 22:51:57 +0000 BSB 1960659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a horrible memory, so I'm bad with meeting new people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960652 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 22:45:30 +0000 jhd 1960652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted always remember, but maybe it would be more like almost always! I had to memorize many names as a teacher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960640 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 22:23:19 +0000 StbHisMrs 1960640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Yes!! I'm always doing that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960625 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 22:06:50 +0000 MrsTiz 1960625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooo. Faces and voices I can remember, names? Nope. I have to grab the phone in the morning at work and I'm not joking when I say I forget people's names in the time it takes me to transfer their call. "Coworker, a lady is on line 1 for you"...when she just told me her name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-with-names#post-1960620 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 21:58:03 +0000 StbHisMrs 1960620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The tellers at the bank always remember my name, they see me every night. I cannot for the life of me remember theirs, awkward.</p> <p>Are you good with names? </p>
