Name shame is a term that refers to the inability to remember the name of a person with which you have spent a lot of time. The shame part of the term comes from the fact that you have spent a lot of time with the person yet you still cannot remember his or her name.
The inability to remember a name often happens because the person is not memorable or has a forgettable face. You cannot apply this term to people with memory loss issues, that's just not fair.
