One name isn't: Forgetting more than one may not even be a problem, but it's a possible sign and easy to notice. Unimportant names are nothing to worry about if other cognitive functions are good. Names that do matter to you would be a greater concern - as are difficulties functioning as well as you have been. Naming is a specific act so tests can measure it. A screening may help you relax and early Tx's good.
