I'm the reverse, if someone has a unique name that is either interesting because it is from another language or culture I have like a 50/50 chance of remembering it depending on length but all the Johns are gonna be 'hey you' in about 30 seconds unless they are wearing a name tag.

Also, none of the memory tricks that are supposed to help remember names work for me and I tried for a couple decades. Associating with something else means now I have two things that I forgot, and repeating their name at them will just turn into a pile of mush in my brain. I just need to interact with them long enough for it to eventually stick, can't force it.
