What's Ya Name Again?
So, I moved house in February to a new estate.
The neighbors move in about 4 months ago.
Lovely young Indian couple with a beautify little girl. Great people, friendly and she can cook like a god.
But buggered if I can remember their names.
I have an overwhelming urge to call him Raj.
Anyway, I am up for ideas,
- When is it to late to ask their names again?
- Is it to late?
- Should I steal their mail and get their names?
Help please....!

Haha story of my life, just be honest and ask him again.
I try to match names to something I'll remember. example: my daughters friend is named Katie, linked that to an add on TV from years ago about accident rehabilitation and they say 'bend your knee Katie, bend your knee'. Every time I see her now I think 'bend your knee', will never forget. I've got a few different ones like that.
You can always call him mate and her cook and the child kiddo or something like that, tell them it's real Aussie.
Good luck and if you find out his name let us know, that way it will be here forever.
Cheers

Ask them how to spell their names while you have a pad or your phone in your hands. Say you are putting them in your phone directory.

My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Remembering names is my true weakness. I am terrible. I inspect houses for a living and remember them in fine detail years later but can't remember your name standing in front of you. Fortunately I carry a clipboard and always have the clients name written on the page in front of me, if I change pages I carry it over.
Funny story. O"l mate Jack here^^^^ and I have an ongoing problem. I have met Jack maybe a Dozen times or more, on first meeting him I thought he was @Bob from here, both guys are "seniors" and I just slotted Jack in that space in my head as Bob. Damn it if Every time we meet I start with "G'day Bob" kills me!
Sorry Jack!

I would have no hesitation saying to the guy " I'm so sorry mate, I'm bloody hopeless with names and I have lost your name in my head"
I use that line or similar all the time, I often get the reply "no worries mate I'm hopeless too". They will be stoked your making the effort mate. They cop plenty of flack and scoring a nice neighbour is most welcome. Enjoy.

I a noisy bar you can get away with introductions by leaning over to them and saying this is my friend John, then lean over to John & say I don't know this girls name. John then leans over and says Hi I'm John I didn't quite catch you name, then he relays it back to you. Unless John is a prick then he tells the girl "He doesn't know your name".
