I have tremendous trouble with names, especially bland ones. When I am chatting to people on the internet, I try and save their name onto my buddy list and where they are from so I can at least have some memory trigger the next time I see them. In real life, I usually just call people by nicknames until their name usually sinks in, which takes awhile.

Yes. I do have a horrible time recalling names under pressure.

I know an Um too! Do you think they're related?
