I'm just bad with remembering names so I've learned to just not use them.

    Hah, for me exactly the opposite: I repeat peoples' names when I talk to them so I remember them. At first it felt awkward, like OP described, but now I do it naturally without thinking.

    I tried that and it didn't work, just like all the other memory tricks. Hell, I talk to four friends online almost every single day for over a decade and occasionally one of their names slips my mind.

    ADHD sure makes social interactions fun!
