I can so identify with that. Even if I repeatedly repeat someone's name, I'll forget it. I tend to get around that by just forging on into a conversation with them, hoping I'll remember, but I frequently have to break down and admit I've forgotten:
"Well, it's been nice chatting with you but I really have to go now. Uh...I hate to admit this but...uh...I've forgotten what your name is...oh, yeah, thanks...bye, Mama."
