    The easiest way to remember someones name, is to look at all the characteristics of that person. Do they have a big nose? Do they have bushy eyebrows? Do they have a mole, or big ears? Practice checking out the persons characteristics and use them to remember their name. This method is used by all the people who participate in memory competitions. Check out the website below to learn more. Or, go to youtube and check out Stan Lee's Super-humans memory guy. This guy was tested to see how well his memory worked. So they went to a running marathon and was introduced to every one who ran in the race that day. Then when each of all those people finished he had to remember their name. Do you think he did it? check out youtube to find out.

    I always remember anyone named Elizabeth because of something I heard on a sitcom about remembering it by it sounding like "a lizard bath".

    Say it in a funny voice. Or take the first letter of there name and rhyme it with something distinctive about them. Like Tall Tom
