I low-key feel bad when people remember my name when I'm absolutely clueless about who they are
But again, it's not my fault that I'm outstanding (as I've been too my whole life) and unforgettable when so many people are shy and prefer to stay eh... they just don't man such big difference or any special expression that's worth remembering
Just say "sorry I've forgotten your name. When they answer with their first name say "No sorry I meant your last name. I was sitting thinking I can't remember (insert name)'s last name."
