How to Remember Names Easier

If you have a hard time remembering names there are tips that can help you. You can say the person's name out loud once after being introduced and then again at the end of the conversation. While you are talking to the person you should repeat their name a few times in your head as you look at their face. People remember what they see better than what they hear and by connecting a face to a name you be more likely to remember their name. You can connect their name with a special or unique facial feature they have. It would be a good idea to write the person's name down and how you know them after the conversation has ended.

Couple Tries to Name Baby "At" Symbol

It is reported in Beijing that a Chinese couple want to use the "At" symbol as a name for their child. The father of the child says the whole world uses it to write e-mails and when translated into Chinese it means “love him.”

It is not reported whether the "At" name was accepted or rejected by the police, who are the arbiters of names because they issue identity cards.

Written Chinese uses characters instead of an alphabet and that makes it difficult to develop new words for new things and ideas.
