I am pretty good at names. Don' t know why, but I think it's because when I used to be very bored in class, and so I memorized the names of everyone in the classroom along with their last names, faces, social status, birthdays etc.
I generally have a terrible time with names. The odd thing was that I proved I can remember things if I try hard enough. I went to a trade school and my course was on was "continuous entry", which means that a new class started every month and ran for 6 months. After I had been there for a while we threw a party for the new class. I got really drunk and decided to memorize every name in the party. Since the new class were all unknown, I spent the night making introductions between the new people and the ones in the classes ahead of them. Next morning I was hung-over but still remembered every name from the night before. Normally when I hear a name it just goes in one ear and out the other. I'm convinced it was the extra step of making introductions that allowed me to do it.
