I am teased by numbers....infatuated....But i do not know their alphabet

Many times I have met someone and I realize that 5 minutes after the conversation I don't remember their name. Or I will see someone so often that I don't use their name and I find I can't remember it, but they know mine... It is rather frustrating. For some reason numbers and theories seem to stick right away. It is weird and I freely admit it. My only explanation is that certain numbers like 6 and 4 are repeated in the structure of the world (4 bonds in many molecules/covalent unit cells, 6 degrees of freedom, 6 bonds in carbon, the excellent balance of flat and inline 6 cylinder engines ). So names seem somewhat random to my messed-up mind.
