Remembering A Name !

Names are sometimes so difficult to keep in mind. And they’re not the more hard or long ones. They sometimes are the easy ones. But they land us in situations where we’d rather not find ourselves. But this is not a defect which cannot be rectified. In fact the memory can be trainable in such cases by following some simple rules:

•The first thing is to listen to the name. We’re often so pre-occupied that we don’t actually hear it.

•After hearing the name, spell it in your head, repeating it a few times to ingrain it on your brain.

•If you hear an unusual name, inquire about its origins. The extra info will help make it more unforgettable.

Repeat the name during your conversation.

Change the name to something that sounds like it but conjures up an image. The sillier it is, the better it works.
