I clicked on this thinking ‘no way he can come up with 20 ways to find out someone’s name’ lol I love it! Didn’t expect it to be this much fun!

And I really am so bad with names. I don’t even forget the names, I just forget to even try to remember the name when they say it. It doesn’t each my brain in the first place.

I usually go for asking them their last name and then social stalking to find out the first name. Or asking them to put their number into my phone but handing it to them with the cursor on the name, so they naturally type in their name as well. If not, there’s always a chance they have some version of their name on their WhatsApp profile which I can then check.
