I take longer than most people to remember a person’s name, I think, but if I interact with someone on a regular basis I usually remember their name eventually. For example I have a GP doctor, a psychiatrist, a dentist, an ENT specialist, and an oncologist, all of whom are Doctor (insert last name), and I have trouble keeping track of which one is which name. I’m paranoid about getting people’s names wrong, so I usually avoid using names unless I really have to.
