Tips on remembering names?

Say their name 3 times. As soon as you meet them and shake hands, "Hey Mike". "So Mike, how do you know X?" "Oh, well I'll tell you what Mike, if you're ever in town, let me know."

You get the idea. 3 is the magic number. If you don't think it's true, pick any 3 numbers. 24 58 33, repeat it 3 times aloud. You'll remember them.

Verbally repeat their name shortly after. "Nice to meet you, Stephanie."
Repeat their name in your head. "Stephanie,Stephanie,Stephanie".
Associate their name with an attribute "Stephanie - obsessed with golf".
Write their name down in your smartphone (yep used to do this).

Or, what helped me the most: PRACTICE. I used to had problems with remembering people's names (it's actually very common, OP) and I met a ton of new people. I now don't have the problem anymore and don't need to use a tip or trick. Maybe some kind of switch flipped in head, unfortunately I don't know what exactly I do different. Try it!

I like to play word games with names. I pick a feature that stands out and I try to word it in a way that uses her name. It doesn't have to be a particularly unique feature, just one that's easy to notice.

Think of it like 2nd grade name-calling. The intended effect is to create an association that stands out by being funny, shocking, etc. Whatever you prefer.

This works really well once you get the hang of it. It's also amusing to notice what associations come to mind quickly. Just don't go around calling people "fat Fred" and "bitch Bernice"

This might seem kind of creepy, so don't tell anyone that you do this if you decide to listen to me. Anytime I meet people, I write down their names in my phone. Every time then when there's a lull in a group conversation, you can check your phone for the names. Also, occasionally you'll see someone that you met three months ago and remember them, and you can just look up their name in your phone.
