What is the longest you've gone without knowing a person's name?

What is the longest you've gone without knowing a person's name?

1. My next-door neighbor introduced himself when he moved in, but I quickly forgot his name. For five long years, I avoided it. He was from a French-speaking part of Canada, so whenever I spoke with my wife, I called him the French guy next door. Five years later, he admitted in a conversation that he had forgotten my name. We shared a good laugh and reintroduced ourselves. His name was Guy. I had it right all along; he really was the French guy next door.

2. To this friendly couple who owns a restaurant in my town, my name is apparently Darren. It’s not, and I’ve known them for two years. We’re even friends on Facebook, so they can literally see and read my name, but that’s okay. I always thought it would be fun to be a Darren.

3. In college, my nickname was "the mayor," and at graduation, I had several people I’d known for years approach me, saying, "I had no idea your real name was actually Dan."

4. Once, I went through an entire date without knowing the girl’s name. A friend set me up with her, but he never told me her name—just the address where I was supposed to pick her up. I didn’t have the courage to ask her name during the date. She ended up becoming my girlfriend, and we still laugh about that every time it comes up.

I worked in a factory with a high turnover rate. I stopped bothering to learn people's names until they'd been there 2 weeks. I secretly gave everyone nicknames based on their worst traits. Lazygirl, OCDman, Airpods(he wasn't supposed to be wearing airpods). Anyone too un remarkable for a nickname was labeled Goober.

So far a month but we’ll see, it’s still ongoing. I feel horrible bc it’s a super sweet girl but she’s from a non English speaking country (she just moved to American, where I am) and I literally can’t understand whenever she tells me her name, im dumb and she has an accent so I’ve just referring to her as the super nice girl
