Remember Names

I believe you should remember someone's name.  I get very offended when someone at therapy forgets my name, or calls me the wrong name.  Somebody always calls me "Mike".  Recently, I have dealt with many people who have a very very hard time rememberring something.  I think the heart of the problem is that people don't care enough about rememberring someone's name.  Since I was a young lad, my dad always impressed upon me the importance of rememberring someone's name.  Hence, I've always had a knack for face-name recall.  I rule at the games on "lumosity.com" that focus on face-name recall.  I have a very tough time in my current condition (brain damage), rememberring someone's  name after the initial introduction to that person.  Thus, right after the initial introduction to someone, I make it a point to remember that person's name.  If somebody fails to remember my name (or calls me Mike), no matter if he or she has brain damage, I take that as a personal insult, because that says he or she doesn't find me memorable.  I always remember an attractive girl's name.
