Today, I was entering a guy's number into my phone, and I couldn't remember his name. Embarrassed, I tried to be sneaky and asked, "Can you spell your name for me, please?" His name is Bob. FML

Op: What's your name again? Bob: Bob Op: No, your last name? Now you would have both names and not seem as stupid. Next time try doing this method. ^_^

What youre supposed to do is go "can you spell your name?" theyll spell and act all dissapointed then you say "no, i meant your last name." then you have their first name. Easy

"Hello, my name is Bob" How do you spell that, Bob? "Oh its spelled (spelt?) K-E-V-I-N" Though I can empathize with OP, I have seen people I went to school with and they come up to me and are like "HEY (my name)!!!" and I'm thinking to myself "God I know you but.... who the HELL are you?"

I ask people what their name is all the time even more than once because they don't freaken speak clearly so I stop asking when i can't figure it out.

36 - I get what you're saying, but can you imagine having the name "Bob Smith"? That's just.. so plain. It's awkward.

Why not just plain and simple say "Oh I didn't catch your name" it's not like he's going to say no.

Guys, there's something called being sarcastic. I don't know why people take it the wrong way... I'm not a mean person.

I don't know why, but I'm now saying Bob in my mind with Rowan Atkinson's (Mr. Bean) voice

My ex had a brother named Bob. It's not that his parents weren't creative. They're Greek, that's just what his name turned out to be when...I guess you would say when anglicised? Like...Ioannis is Johnny, Vasiliki is Vicky etc.

I could see dating for a bit and forgetting their real name if you're one that uses pet names, like Babe or Honey. Still crazy to not know your significant other's name. What happened to friends first? O.o
