Say the following: "This may sound silly, but I've always wanted to see an American Driver's License/Passport."

It also has the added benefit of making sure she's legal *wink*.

Never ask for her name. Just see how long you can go without having to know it.

Or just say you're horrible with names and ask.

This has happened to me before. What I did is take out my phone and say that I like to have all my contacts listed by their full names, then ask her to spell out her entire three names.

Works every time.

That's it? This is an easy problem. Arrange to meet her somewhere and meet her there. Arrange for a friend of yours to "coincidentally" bump into you there. Do not greet your friend with his/her name just go "Hey mate long time no see" your friend will then introduce himself to the lady and she should introduce herself to him. Your friend then gives an excuse to hurry along (something like "well nice running into you but I gotta go pick up x cya). Voila you have a name and a date.

hahaha I was in this situation once, but not in exactly the same circumstance.

I could just ride it out until I clocked someone else saying their name, then forced myself to remember it. you, on the other hand, Mr. One-on-one, are most likely screwed.

Or you could try that tactic above.

Or you could devise a way to get her to write it down... subtly. Maybe compliment her handwriting and get her to write her number and name down in your diary or address book or something.

Edit:
Quote: all of the "tell her the truth" posts above me.

Yes, go for this first; but if you feel too much like you're going to piss her off, then do what I said above. But I'm going by the assumption you've known her a long time. A week or two is nothing to ask her name.

Say something like. "For some bizarre reason I keep thinking your name is X"... to ease into an apology and an answer.

You could fess up and tell the truth.

Though, if you want to avoid being honest, asking for the spelling makes sense.

Pretend you want to know what her middle name is. When most people are asked their middle name they'll say their full name at some point. It's worked for me, I'm terrible at names.

Failing that, if you know any of her friend's names:

Yeah, add her on Facebook, that'll do it!

Just drop it in in conversation one day, just go "Heyy, can you link me to your Facebook?" and she hopefully should... If she doesn't have a Facebook account, ask for other Social Networking related things.

Ok, so I finally used my British charm and accent to land me a smoking american date, but the problem is, I don't know her name. I've saved her number as "?" on my phone...

And yeah we've known each other too long for me to simply ask her what er name is...

WHAT DO?
You got 3 options

1. Call the number but on the phone state due to the phone number entry on the phone lacking details your wondering who's number is this.


2. Say 'I know this sounds rather silly but how do you SPELL your name".
Don't actually ask what her name is, rather ask for the spelling of her name.
That way you sound like you want to know more about here rather than forgetting her name.
There is a slight chance that will backfire.

3. Being honest might be the best way around this.

Has she told you her name before? You didn't mention. If she has and you forgot... wow. If you simply forgot to ask her, then just be honest and tell her that. If shes a ***** about it, you wouldn't want anything to do with her anyway.

I've forgotten names many, many times before. It's not that big a deal, although I have to admit some of the plans on this thread sound way better/more hilarious than simply asking. I'm also reminded of this comic:

Ask a mutual acquaintance or just listen extra hard when people are talking to or about her.

Ask her if she has a nickname you'd rather have has her name in your phone. Or be stupid and ask her to spell her name because you know there's many different spellings, and you wanted to make sure you had it right. :p
Or this, damned good advice that is.

If all else fails and she catches on just be honest and tell her you remember faces better than names.

Wait for her to call you and say "Who is this?", although she might not call.
