Name Game

No one can tell me who you are,
  I forget names!
  From near and far,
  A face,
  I'll never forget!
  But a name,
  Slides right out of my brain!
  Sometimes I can hold them,
  As if with a net.
  To see what can rhyme,
  Better yet!
  Often, I'll remember,
  If I repeat them in December.
  More often than not,
  I'll just forget a lot.
  To many you see,
  In front of me. 
  So, I wait until,
  Someone else says their name.
  And I'll repeat it,
  Yet again!
