... more an old man name question.
I'm very bad at remembering names. I'd love to be someone who always remembers people's names, but no matter what I just can't.
One old bloke walks his dog at the same time as I walk mine, so we chat every day. I asked him his name last week and I've forgotten. I don't have to use his name, but it's bugging me what it is! He's probably in his early 70's if that means anything at all.
Name is a typical old man name, two or more syllables, not currently fashionable, something like Bernard or Ronald or Herbert or Derek.
It has a common short version that a lot of people use, but this guy said the long version, like Timothy/Tim or Frederick/Fred.
I know if I see the name I'll remember it but my mind is just a blank. Give me some ideas pleeeeeease, I'll look such a fool if I have to ask again
