"Im terrible with names so theres been a few times where Im number closing and realize ive forgotten the name. So what i do is just ask how they spell their name and then Ive got it. Ive even had girls with really simple names like 'Jen' or 'Sam' reply and not even think about it. I suppose you could do the same thing without number closing. Say something like "Hey how do you spell your name?" And then be like "I was just wondering because I have a friend with the same name but she spelled it weird." or something more clever than that... you get the idea"

just go with the neg or the licenses thing.

Another good one...

me "whats your name again?"

Hb "whatever her name is"

me "I know that!...but whats your second name?"

I learned this from a friend of mine for when you forget a HB's name. This only works if you can hold off from using it till you go for the number close.

When you get her to give you her number type it in your cell then when you go to put in her name hand her the phone.

H2ocroc4: Just so I don't spell it wrong why don't you put type your name in.
HB - picks up phone and inserts her first/last/both name

(I also usually put in the last name which is another good reason to have them type the whole thing in)

I've never had this fail ... even when the girl's name is something incredibly basic that I should know how to spell.

well well well, depends on the content and in which one should remember a target's name. To show disinterest(false dis qualifier), it's very damn valuable to forget- or at least act like you've forgotten her name. Why? "Cause she's just not that fuccing interesting to you. that approach also shows that your are pre-selected and have loads of options that you can care less to remember her name . Now, it would be a plus to remember the target's name during the comfort stage(or rapport). However, if the names happen to arise in the initial approach(I hope you dont take the initiative to throw your name out there), dont kill it out by mentioning her damn name 10 times in the attraction phase!!! Mention it in the comfort phase.

I some times use an old lady name like Agnes or something and act like I really thought that was her name. I love the reaction I get. Before I learned about "Frame" and all, I would have been like "OMG--Im sorry about forgetting your name", but now I think it is an awesome neg. Using an old lady name makes them think--"Im supposed to be hot. How could anyone as hot as me be mistaken for an Agnes. Am I really that hot"? It works good early on in the A2 if you just laugh about it when it happens.

I seem to forget names easily

I used to stress about this sort of thing as it always happened to me. Then I stopped worrying, and pretty much started using everything in this thread.

Thread Summary:
Prevention Options:
Use her name frequently in conversation
Employ mnemonic memory tricks to remember the name
Give her a nickname
Crisis Avertion Options:
Just ASK ("What's your name again?")
Spelling ("How do you spell it? I had a friend w/ the same name who spelt it weird")
Christen her with a new name.
PUA: "Ashley! Good to see you!"
HB: "My name's not Ashley!"
PUA: "No, it's Ashley now" / "Fine, your new name is Ursula."

Better yet remember the conversation you have with her. I was at a wedding on saturday and number closed a bridesmaid but of course there was an open bar so I had been drinking. All I really remember is her name and us dancing, her number to of course.

I very often reverse a girl's name and call them by that. Eg Laura becomes aruaL, Alex becomes xelA and so forth.

If they don't like it, don't apologise, just neg them with "You have to earn the right for me to call you by your name".
