it's like my brain has to switch from "normal" to "holy shit, social interaction" mode which takes the exact amount of time for them to say their name

ProTip: Repeat their name back. Example.
Them: Hi, I'm Brenda. You: Hi Brenda, i'm <name>.
Then do it again as you finish.
You: OK. Great to meet you, Brenda.
Works well for me and i'm terrible with names.
