Remembering people's names - solutions?

Hello

I have done a bit of research and it seems I'm not alone in having a ridiculously hard time remembering people's names. I just wondered whether anyone has come across a solution that works for them, or at least made things a little better?

  • I like facebook - repetition of seeing name/face together helps
  • I look people up on linkedin before a business meeting to see if they have a photo, literally minutes before I meet them to recall their face
  • I have tried word-association and 'nicknames' with limited success
  • Saving people's photos (from facebook / linkedin) with their number in my phone so I can look them up
  • Getting people to wear labels in training.

any other suggestions for remembering names please?
