Names Are Boring
So if names are boring and that’s why you can’t remember them, what should you do? There are two routes here.
First, because names are boring, you’re probably not paying much attention when people present themselves to you. That’s a bad habit! When people introduce themselves, you should listen. Repeat name you just heard. If you didn’t quite catch it, say so. How can you remember something you didn’t really hear in first place.
Second, you could start taking an interest in names in general. Find out where they came from. What they originally meant. Are they represented in several languages?
It boils down to interest and attention. Try to be interested, and pay attention. Then you’ll remember any name.
So What Was Napoleon’s Secret?
When Napoleon met someone new, he wrote down that name on a piece of paper. He looked at it for a little while. Then he threw it away.
Go figure.
