Hi Dinah - I wonder if it's a certain part of the brain! I bet it is. My husband has the same problem. One time at work, each person at a meeting had to introduce the person next to them............... Yup - hubby couldn't remember the guy's name & it's someone who he works with every day! Luckily the guy caught DH's vibes, I guess & put forth his name!
It's a big stressor for DH. He is the type who includes a person's name along with the "Hi." when he happens to meet someone. I, on the other hand, tend to say, "Hi - how are ya doing?" etc.
I've noticed there are people who often say my name when they see me or are talking to me & others (like myself) who don't at all!!
