I don't remember their name. I discovered this problem when I came to the states. The person usually needs to make a huge impression on me in order for me to remember their name, or at least be very unique.

I remember names, I remember faces... what I don't remember is: Clothes, and I'm serious :-X I know they were wearing something,DUH, but my mind is never able to retain it, to the point I even forget the color of clothes :-X

For a normal person, that would be quite trivial. ::)

For me, I'm always forgetting names... Even if they're relatives or friends. :-X

I frequently forget names. Unless I see a person on a regular basis for about two weeks solid, I will not remember their name. I'm very good at talking to people without addressing them by name.

Terrible with names. Every time someone introduces themself to me I forget the name split seconds later. When I finally realise that I have to wait for someone else to call them by name. :P

I'm the opposite, I remember last names but can hardly remember their first name. Sometimes I even remember their father/middle name without the first! ( in our country, if we want to call a person by their full name, we'd call a him/her by his/her first name then their father's first name then the family name. ).

First option. I usually space out whenever people introduce themselves to me. And poor listening skills.

it happens the same to me. I find it impossible to remember the clothes someone was wearing. But I picked second option, cause when I have only met someone once, I'm able to remember their name, but I can't imagine their face on my mind, although if I see them I recognize them.  :P

I am quite the opposite: I remember clothes, and either name or face but not both ^^

You: *also sits*

Me: ...Hullo.

You: Hi.

*awkward silence*

Both: *start to doodle* *look at the other person's doodles* *SPAZ ATTACK*

That happens to me all the time. Until they call me "Amy" and I realize that they think I'm my mother.

this is either very insulting to you or very flattering to your mother. :P
