Have you ever been at a luncheon for work or maybe school meeting what feels like hundreds of people and then minutes later forgetting all of their names? With that in consideration have you ever had someone remember your name that you do not remember ever meeting?

Remembering a person and their name is an important part of becoming a successful employee in your workplace, as well as a likable one. Here are a few tricks that will help you remember that one guy or gal that seems to always slip away.

Repeat the name

Simply saying the persons name as you are parting will help you associate it with them.

Ask questions about their name

As questions especially if their name is different or difficult to say. People will not be offended that you are genuinely interested in them.

Have them spell it

If the name is difficult or if you can get away with asking have the person spell his or her name for you.

Associate the name with a picture

Taking the name and associating it with a picture will help to embed it into your memory bank permanently.

Ask how they go their name

A lot of people have interesting ways that they go their name or who they got their name from. Ask about it. They will be flattered.

Tell them things you know about them

Relate good things that you have heard about this person using their name in the sentences. This will help you remember as well as build trust and friendships for you.

Be honest when you do not remember

If you still do not remember a persons name when you meet them again be honest and let them know you remember them but their name has slipped your mind.

When someone remembers your name it makes you feel good and appreciated, return the favor and try to remember other people\'s names as you are out and about.
