There's a fellow here at work who uses people's names every time he speaks to them. If he sees me in the cafeteria in the morning, and in the hall 45 minutes later, it's "Hello Jane" every time. If we talk for five minutes, he uses my name multiple times in the conversation. He must have taken one of those self-improvement courses that tell you that people will remember and like you more if you always use their name.
