Conversation topics are semantically meaningful, so I can build a web of relationships to other, existing concepts in my brain to quickly move those topics into long-term memory.
But names? They’re just a random collection of sounds. “Samantha” could just well be QSTLDUZBAX to me—completely meaningless nonsense that I have to memorize and attach to a face.
