I do something similar with meeting someone. When I ask their name and I find out what it is. It goes completely out of mind and out of sight.

I try to get them to say their name again through conversation naturally but it doesn't always work out.
You gotta try it. It's a perfect fallback for those situations.

I can't really explain why the name thing happens. I think it's kind of like when you ask someone what's up or how it's going (seriously does anyone ever pay attention to those answers?). Most times when you randomlly meet someone or are introduced to someone you know it's usually just a one-time kind of thing, so maybe it's just like going through the motions like asking someone what's up.
