You meet someone one day and a couple of days later you see them, but do not have a clue what to call them. Here is a handy way to remember names:

• Attach a mental picture of something that relates to the person's name above their heads, so when you think of them or see them you can also "see" this image. If you meet someone called Angelina, for example, you could use a mental picture of the actress Angelina Jolie.
• When you are introduced to someone new say their name out loud at least twice to make sure you have said it correctly. This will make the name "stick" better.
