If you would have presented to me as an outpatient,I would have told you that such a short lasting memory loss(specially of names) for a seconds,is common and usual among most of us.
This is physiological/normal and should not be a cause of concern.
It may be associated with anxiety or depression.So,please start doing mental relaxation exercises/yoga/meditation and these symptoms should improve.
However,please observe and be in follow-up if you experience a gradually progressive memory loss.But,if the symptoms are static,which likely will be the case,please be reassured about the fact that this is normal.
