Slightly awkward situation regarding names - what do you do?

I have a terrible memory and I have a trick for these situations.

 

If I forget someones name I say to them:

 

me: whats your name again

them: My name? It's John Williams

me: No not your first name I know that, I meant your surname!

 

It hasn't let me down yet

 

I've spotted your deliberate mistake.. :)

Blimey your memory must be really terrible if he tells you his name is 'Williams' and you have to ask again. :hihi:

.....................asking the postie would be my suggestion too!!! Know what you mean though. I caht to a number of dog walkers, don't think any of us kanow each otheres names. We refer to them as 'Lotties mum or Henry dad'!!
