How to Remember a Girl's Name

Meeting a new girl and then forgetting her name later can result in an embarrassing situation. Fortunately, there are some steps that you can use to help you remember a girl's name. This will help make social interactions smoother. It should also impress the girl whose name you remembered, the next time you see each other.

Instructions

1. Connect her name with either a word that rhymes with it or a word that begins with the same letter and describes her appearance or personality in some way. Do this in your head, not aloud. This works best if the word is an object that you can picture in your mind.

2. Picture the person along with a picture of the word you chose in your mind. Imprinting an image in your mind is essential to memory.

3. Repeat the name back to the girl after she has told it to you. For example, "It's so nice to meet you, Jane." instead of simply "It's so nice to meet you." This will help imprint the memory of her name in your mind. Without doing it too much, include her name in the conversation a few times. Don't forget to say her name when you are saying goodbye.

4. Ask about the origin of the name if it is an unusual one. Unusual names are especially hard to remember, so you will need to hear some of the background to help you.

5. Write down the name and the associations you made with it after the encounter is finished and you have left her company. Saying, hearing and seeing the name in addition to thinking about it are all essential to remembering a girl's name.
