I have an unusual name so when I meet new people my brain focuses on their reaction to my name and how they pronounce it, so I completely zone out when they tell me their name. I might remember it for a short time but almost always I forgot their name if I don’t interact with them frequently.

It's not even a matter of remembering for me. People I have known for years whose name I did not forget.... yeah, my brain will just decide nope, today we don't know their name. It's so dumb.
