A trick I learned is to picture their name written across their forehead (visualize each letter). It works pretty well.

Mine is to associate them with a famous person or character of the same name, and make a point of refreshing their name in my mind soon after meeting, and then more later. it’s not perfect but name retention went through the roof for me.

Good point. Same problem as with AI art and writing; we actually appreciate the human striving.
