Faces? Yes

Names? Not at all!

Face - yes. Name - not so much. Especially if you're a friend of a friend.

I don't forget a face! And sometimes it drives me crazy trying to place someone sometimes years later. DH thinks I'm crazy when I tell him someone looks familiar...but I'm always right in the end. Terrible with names, though.

Really awful! I think it's genetic, my dad can't recognize faces either

I can do faces, but names...no way. I'm awful, even people I've meet many times, it's not that I don't care I just can't remember!

I think I have a touch of whatever that condition is that makes you unable to recognize faces. I cannot watch movies about people that are supposed to look similar, like brothers, because I can't follow the story. Give me some diversity or at least different colored hair. I'm especially bad with white men so pretty much no British period pieces for me. I'm not nearly as bad in person but still not good at all.

DH is on the opposite side of the spectrum. He should work for the CIA or a casting agency. He recognizes people everywhere we go. Everything from "There's the waitress from the diner we ate at once" to "Oh, look there's Ludacris sitting on that bench over there." He is always right too.

@Corduroy: "Oh, look there's Ludacris sitting on that bench over there." I wish we had a cry-laugh emoji! LOL!

I'm good with recognizing a face as familiar, but not as good with remembering who the person is or where I know them from. I am a constant IMDBer while watching movies/TV because I can't pay attention until I remember what I know that guy from.

I'm awful. DH says that I have face blindness.
