Main purpose of the name is to identify a person. Name is very important to any person irrespective of his status, position, age, etc.. Good example is if you have a group photograph where you are also in, first and foremost your eye will go in search of where you are in the photo. That is human nature. Always you are interested in you before anyone else.

Take another example if you are with an infant and if you keep ignoring him for some time he will start crying. He feels that you are not interested in him, he wants your attention therefore he start to cry to attract your attention. When you give him attention and start petting he stops crying. that is when he gets attention and recognition. All of us crave to be recognized.

Name gives a person recognition and importance. You should be careful to pronounce the name accurately. If you can call someone by the name, even if you are meeting him after a decade or two other person will be very happy that you have remembered his name after a such a long periods of time. It says that he is an important person to you and you recognized him to be special. This itself will be a plus point for your future relationship with him. At the same time if you could inquire about his children and his pet subject, you will be hitting the jackpot.
Can you remember an instance you felt awkward when you meet a person and you could not recollect his name, you must have got into this situation many times.

When a person is introduced try to remember not only the name, but few other things about him. Another way is when introduced repeat the name loudly and ask him whether you have pronounced correctly, try to connect the name to someone or something which is familiar and you could easily remember. Calling by the name one gets a feeling that he is recognized as an individual and he feels he is an impotent person. Let him enjoy that feeling. You can make someone happy for a moment.
