The older we get the bigger the Hard Drive Storage in our heads. A 10-year old can access her mind library quickly because there isn't many books in there YET. She could relive her whole life in her day dreams in one afternoon. A 90-year could daydream for days about what she did for the first 40 years - and those around her think she has dementia or alzeihmers. "She is on holiday" but didn't tell anyone.
If we are tired, pre-occupied or our mind is working subconsciously on conflict resolutions, then it can be easy for our mind to just hold a limited amount of things on the "table" in any one moment.
It won't remember names if it is not the highest priority "right now", but the names will come back later when you brain slows dow for a spell half an hour later.
