Alright here's a question: when you've forgot the name of the person your talking to, what's a smooth way to find out his/her name again?

I would sometime have people come up to me and say hi. Now they would remember my name, and I definitely recognise them and remember their faces, but just couldn't remember the names. I could just pretend I still remember their names and carry on with the conversation, but the thought of it can really gnaw at me sometimes.

So I was wondering if any of you have got a good way to find out the name of the person you're talking to without asking him/her and admitting that you forgot.
