OK OK OK… HERE’S THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION.
When you don’t remember someones name and you don’t want to be embarrased, just go like this:
“I’m sorry, what was your name?” - Steve “yeah Steve, sorry that I know, I’ve ment your LAST name” - Oh, Jobs… “great, see… bla bla bla”
That’s is by FAR the best way to do it, that way people don’t feel like they didn’t matter and you did remember your name, and save your self that awful moment of not remembering.
