Dani - I have the same trouble with names, in one ear and out the other. But I even forget the names of people I've known for years! It runs in the family - my mother's as bad, and her mother couldn't even remember my name: she'd go through all the family names, but she used to start with the girls, so I was always "Jean-Brenda-Albert"!

My little brother, who's a psychiatric nurse, tells me this is called nominal dysphasia. For some reason, I can remember that!
