Need help?

I saw this over the weekend.  It’s a website that will help you if you forget someones name.  I have to admit, I am so bad at remembering names I’ve gotten comfortable just asking.  And I’m just straight up with whoever I’m talking to with the fact I’m so bad at name retention.  I can remember someones face, but name, it needs to be repeated several, several times.  Anyway, there’s been all the techniques that I’ve tried but none of them never seemed to work.  Now, enter 2021 and there’s a website called Flowing Data that will try to get you there.  A few things you need to know, first a first letter of the name you’re trying to remember and a decade the person was born in.  Evidently this website pulls out the most popular names for each letter.  I’m not sure if this will help you or not but if you haven’t given in to your mind forgetting and and you don’t want to ask, then maybe Flowing Data may be your ticket.
