It’s always awkward when someone comes up to you and knows who you are, and you know you’re supposed to know them, but their name just kind of slips your mind. That happens to me sometimes, and the right thing to do is probably ask them their name again. Or you can take the Ben way out and use one of these!
These are all nicknames I’ve heard people call me, or names people use when they don’t know the name of the person they’re talking to.
Pick your favourite!
