Are you good at remembering people's names when you first meet them?

B Natural answer

I’m okay at it, but I’m not perfect. I repeat the name in my head a few times when I first hear it, and I try to say it back in the conversation. Even so, I sometimes forget later if I meet a lot of people in one day.
