recognizing faces of people that you *should* know?

I have a great memory for names... I have over 1500 regular customers and know most of their accounts by name...

But I just can't put a name with a FACE very often... even with people I've met several times, even friends of my husband that have been to my home!

I always thought it was just me (or possibly due to a head injury I sustained as a child), but some of the reading I've been doing says it is a fairly common BP problem... so I'm curious...

I have that problem also. I think I could name every person that was on my wedding invitation list (almost 7 years ago). But if I ran into them I wouldn't be able to place the face with the name. My graduating high school class just had an informal get together last weekend and I was so uncomfortable when I couldn't remember someone's name. It really is embarrassing and since I have not been diagnosed with BP "officially" yet maybe this is another thing that points me in that direction.

I've always been horrible at names/faces.

Thanks Alison and Donna,

At least I know I'm not alone! :-)
