Today, a guy from my school came into my work. I know him but I'd forgotten his name. I didn't want to be rude and ask for his name when he probably expected me to know it, so, thinking I was clever, I said, "How do you spell your name again?" His name is Rob. FML

I always play the "how old are you?". "I dont believe you", "prove it, show me your license". Flattery makes people blind :)

Meh - I know a Robb or two. You could have made a semi graceful recovery - "Thought so, but my (fake) cousin has an extra 'b' in his".

You can be clever and say you thought you remembered it being spelled strangely, Rhob, Robb, Rohb. Tricky, right? ;)

I use that trick too. If its an easy name like that, I say. No! Your last name silly!

There's nothing to be embarrassed about if you forget someone's name.

No, no, here's what you do - you go "what was your name again?" And when they answer and get offended then you say "no, your last name." And boom, now you know both.

I would go with that but add onto it, "how do you spell your name again?" They answer "Oh I'm sorry, I meant your last name" and there you go

There's another FML very similar to this, between OP who was a person at work and a client that came in all the time, she asked how to spell his name to enter his contact information into her phone, and the name was Bob. This one's especially funny because the name is Rob.
