Names are not my strong suit, I meet a lot of interesting people and since the time I was a kid, I have the darndest time remembering their names.
I try to get people's names by introducing myself, and inevitably the conversation goes something like this.
"Hi, I'm Tiffany Bock."
"Dock?"
"No, Bock."
"Block?"
"Bock."
"Bach"
"No, Bock, B-O-C like Charlie-K, you know, like the sound a chicken makes"
"Oh, is that German?"
"Yes"
I wonder if they mean the name or the chicken sounds?
Perhaps I'm not the one with the name problem, because a lot of people I see the second time say "Oh, hi Ms. Bock." At least something about me was memorable...
Me, I say "Hi!"
