The only reason you need to know someone's name is to talk about them behind their back.

Excellent point, if you're just 1 on 1 with someone you dont need their name except to talk about them with someone else.

Or to show that you paid attention to anything they said about themselves and didn’t just wait your turn to talk. You know, basic social etiquette lol
