Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips .You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use association

Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall,black hair”. To reinforce your association, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you.

A couple from Russia was once visiting Miami. They wanted to take a walk and to see the city, but they were afraid they might get lost. They did not speak any English.

After they left their hotel, they went to the first street corner and looked at the name of the street. Then they carefully copied the name into their notebook. They thought that this would help them find their way back if they got lost.

They walked for hours through the city, and suddenly they realized that they were lost. They found a police officer and asked for help, but the officer didn’t speak their native language.
