I tend to remember faces but forget names. If you are like me, be kind to other people and always, always, tell your name at the same time you are shaking hands. It is not funny to say: “Do you remember me? I bet you don’t”, trying to bring attention to yourself, or –on the contrary– to embarrass the other person.

When I have forgotten the other persons’s name and I happen to be with company, I first introduce the person I know the name (e.g.: ‘Hi, let me introduce you to my sister Claudia’, and then she tells her whole name) and wait for the newcomer to introduce herself.  This is a technic my father uses all the time, because he is just as bad with people’s names as I am. I hope you find it useful.
