You would be amazed at how hard it can be to remember names. I might recognise a face, but not be sure of who it might be. Then I might remember some fact like a film or Tv show or something else but still not the name. Then if they change something like the hair that can make it harder to recognise people. I have walked past family because I did not recognise them out of context, in a supermarket or on the street when I was not expecting to see them.

All of those things happen to me, especially in my later years.

I often watch TV with a friend on a Saturday night (how adventurous am I!) and the conversation usually goes:

"Oh is that thingy from that film? I think she's got a sister. I recognise her..." x 100

I have several times met people out of context and failed to recognise them, sometimes even after they've stopped and spoken to me for 10 minutes...

I thought it was "normal" but maybe I should ask for a brain scan...

Actually it is pretty normal, unless you have had a head injury or certain illness no need for a scan.
