Re: So my brain is(n\'t) weird? (names and memory)
I don't have this problem (fortunately....knock on wood), but have talked to people who do. One recommendation I heard that seems to make sense is to introduce the new person to others.
For example...you're at a party and meet James. You then tell every friend of yours within arms reach "Hey Diablo, have you met James?"
it's just another version of the "use their name outloud as soon as possible" rule. Plus, this way, there's somebody else who will know the name of the new person, so you can ask them if you forget.
