How Bad Is It to Forget Someone's Name?

That's kind of awesome. How good with names would you say you are now?

Also, is that the whole technique? Seems like you'd have to say it for quite a while to get it in to long term memory - if you're doing it straight after it doesn't seem like it would qualify for spaced repetition. Do you do it again later?

Much much better than average. Some people are surprised I can recall their name months/years later after 1 interaction.

I think with Marjolein and the subsequent 10 - 20 I did. But it becomes "natural" after a while.
