Just “Babe” might have worked better. Maybe.

A certain Lynyrd Skynyrd song comes to mind

When I coached kids I knew everyone’s name by the second practice. Everyone else in my life was dood and doodette.

I want to see Steve more in new comics.

Come back; he would have gotten it eventually.

If her name’s Zoe he’ll be there a long time.

In my last place of employment, I didn’t bothered to remember a new hire’s name until they they had worked there for at least at year because of the high turnover rate.

Steve should have looked at last year’s yearbook instead.

I have a terrible memory for both faces and names. I have had people I regularly work with greet me in a store and not been able to recall who they were. And let’s not even get started on the people I knew in high school.

So… apologize profusely and ask her to refresh your memory?

Or slink away and never speak to her again. Your choice.
