  1. Memory is associative – you only remember what you associate with other memory contents.

    Therefore, try to “link” the name to any bright memorable feature of the person – visual, auditory, olfactory-that immediately caught your eye. You will remember later: “This one with a big nose like a rhinoceros is Misha,” or “This one with a squeaky voice like a child's is Mesopotamia Ivanovna.”�

    It is often recommended to say the name out loud, or often repeat it aloud “to remember”, but this does not work – you are not a parrot ) In addition, not all people are happy when they are constantly called by their first name – this shows manipulativeness, and it is difficult to hide it. Listen, for example, to the scripts of any support service or sales department that repeat your name every two words – you will understand what I mean.

  2. To remember the name the first time, try to say it out loud right away. For example, when you meet someone, say: “Nice to meet you, Olga.” And when addressing a person, call them by their first name more often. It is difficult to overdo it here, because the sound of one's own name is pleasant for each person.
