most names are made-up anyways, and i can't remember made-up stuff. there has to be something profound about it or i forget it
actually i have adopted a hobby of just giving people new names (yeah i know it could be seen as disrespectful but for me it's just a normal way of doing things) and then calling them by that name. yes, it has led to confusion in the past. but it just feels like the proper thing to do. (yes you can call me weird and no i won't take it as an insult.)
also, there's this weird phenomenon that when i make up a new name for somebody, somehow that's much easier to remember. and if i do forget and make up a new name again, that new name will often be the same as the first time. so there seems to be something "recognizable" or "fundamental" about it.
