First option.

I have a very visual memory. Not so good with names sometimes.

Remember everything except their birthday.

I'm not even sure when my brother's birthday is. :x

Remember everything about the person except their name

Yes.  For me, it goes either way depending on the person.  I'm more likely to remember the face, though.

first option.

only times I ever remember the name but not the face are when it's people I was never around much but heard their name a lot (like "oh man remember ___ ____ from high school? Me: ":V")

I'm also more a visual person. Unless I know the person fairly well or they made an impact on me, I'm terrible at names, which is weird considering I can usually remember the most obscure things about people.

Usually no problems, but sometimes I don't remember last names if they're too wonky.

Third option. When it comes to remembering someone, what it is that I remember about a person or how I remember them varies a great deal. With some people, I remember everything about them. While with others. I remember any other number of details about them but not everything. I know some by name, others by their voice, several by their habits or abilities, many by their past histories and a few by their face or appearance.

Remember their face and forget their name. I forgot the name of a guy about 10 seconds after we met. :V :V :V

Uh, well.. I suppose names, But that depends on how long I've known the person. If it's a one time meeting it's more like "other people?". Or well, thinking about it I am not sure any more, I keep getting these different blurry memories about forgetting stuff.

I've had experience with both. Sometimes I'll remember everything about someone (usually a patient) but forget what they look like Other times, I'll remember everything except their name. Occasionally a name will get stuck in my head but I can't remember who it is as well. Most frequently, I think I forget names.

I can easily remember faces, but I'm not really good with names and it gets pretty awkward sometimes.

First option.
