Well, I *also* have this problem. :-P It usually takes me up to 10
reminders before I can reliably remember a person's name. And even then,
I'm known to call a well-acquianted friend by the wrong name.
(And don't get me started on phone numbers... last night I spent half an
hour trying to remember my cousin's number, only to give up and look it up
in my notebook. :-P)
