There is a lumosity game about remembering names.
I played that game ONCE for about 15 minutes and since then I've been able to remember names 5x better than before.
There's no fundamental shift in memory capacity, the game just trains you to pay attention when someone says their name. After a few repetitions, it sticks.
Highly worth it. Though, now I remember names so good it freaks people out.
I just pretend to have dementia it makes everything easier
