Respuesta rápida
How smart people say "I forgot your name"
Say "Sorry, I'm terrible with names" and then ask, or ask "What was your name again?" Both lines admit the problem lightly and get you the name quickly. If you want to sound more serious and polite, say "I'm so sorry, I've forgotten your name."

Explicación de cada frase
-
I'm terrible with names Friendly and self-joking
Use it when you've met someone before and can't remember their name. You blame your memory, not the other person, so it sounds warm. Follow it with a short request such as "Remind me."
“I'm terrible with names.”
-
What was your name again? Quick and casual
Use it when someone told you their name recently, maybe a few minutes ago. The word "again" shows that you heard it before and just lost it. With a manager or a client, add "Sorry" at the start.
“What was your name again?”
-
I've forgotten your name Honest and polite
Use it when you want to be direct and sincere, for example with an older colleague or at a formal event. Alone it can sound a little cold, so add "I'm so sorry" before it.
“I've forgotten your name.”
-
Sorry, remind me of your name? Light and easy
Use it in everyday situations with neighbors, classmates, or coworkers. It sounds relaxed because you ask for help instead of apologizing a lot. Avoid it in a very formal meeting.
“Sorry, remind me of your name?”
-
Your name has slipped my mind Soft and a bit formal
Use it to explain gently that you have forgotten the name. "Slip my mind" means you forgot something. The phrase can fit a polite conversation at work, though it may sound more careful than you need with a close friend.
“Your name has slipped my mind”
-
I know we've met, but I can't remember your name Warm and honest
Use it when you clearly remember the person but not the name. The first part tells them they matter to you. Don't use it if you aren't sure you've met before.
“I know we've met, but I can't remember your name”
Errores frecuentes

I'm terrible in names.Mejor I'm terrible with names.
English uses "with" here: good with names, bad with numbers, terrible with names. "In" sounds wrong to native speakers.
-
No del todo
Remember me your name, please.Mejor Remind me of your name, please.
"Remember" means you keep something in your memory. "Remind" means another person helps you remember. You ask someone to remind you.
-
No del todo
Sorry, I didn't catch your name. (to someone you met last month)Mejor Sorry, what was your name again?
"I didn't catch it" means you didn't hear it just now. For a name you heard before and forgot, use "again" or "I'm terrible with names."
