    Say hi, and ask her name, or just avoid to talk about the name.

    If I can't remember names of my friend when I meet them for such a long time what I usually do is that I use endearment such as Dear or Inday , Ne , Girl ....

    offer them your phone that you have set to "Add Contact" and ask them to put in their number. most phones ask for the name first so they would fill in their name too. just tell them your old phone fell in the loo and lost all contacts

    Yeah, I just own up to it and ask. It happens to the best of us. I also try not to get offended if someone forgets my name too. There's so many names!!!
