What Does Difficulty In Remembering The Names Of Long-standing People Indicate?

I seem to have had a brain problem - I have not remembered what happened, all I know is that I find it very difficult to remember --- It seems that my mind has caused it extremely difficult for me to remember peoples names that I have known for a very long time. I know in my mind the people names, but I cannot say that person s name. Does that sound weird?

hi and thanks for question.
memory r two types: short term and long term
short memory lasting from 10 sec to 10 days.long term memory is lasting from 10 days to years. if u r doing repetition of something than it goes in long-term memory. but sometimes it will difficult for us to find that thing in memory because it lost connection in mind or we not remembered the word which associated with it.so don't be panic, just try trick to store memory which will helpful very much. trick r make a numeric, story, arrange in some pattern that easily remember.
