Yeah, this has caused many awkward moments, especially at work. Saying their name to them out loud is a good idea, I’ll try that!
I worked at my last job for 8 months. When I left there were still four people who I didn't know which was which. I knew what the four names were, because they were on the schedule, but I never worked with those four, so I still have no clue which face goes with which name, lol.
Use it 2-3 times in the first conversation. Hi name, bye name and maybe something in between. As long as you have enough time and it's natural so you don't come off as a lunatic.
