Names!

I hate it when I see somebody and I know I've learned their name, but I just forget if it's right or not! People constantly mix up my friends Ryan and Kyle Jannak-Huang who are twins! I don't see any way you can mix them up because from the first day I met them it was easy to distinguish them. The book reads:
1. Make sure you get the name.
2. Make the name meaningful.
3. Focus on a distinctive feature of the person's appearance.
4. Associate the name with the distinctive feature.
5. Review the association.

I feel like 3 and 4 make the most sense. With my friends Ryan and Kyle, Kyle has a wider face and Ryan's haircut is different. I associate this with their names and it is so easy to remember them! (Search them on google images, they are actually pretty famous!) If only people took the time to review their distinctive features...
