Happened with me in April, wife of our Lobbyist whom I have been in their home several times socially greeted me at an event. I had never seen her at that event before, so she wasn't "on the (mental) list".
She said "HI Mark!!" and I was non-plussed, with a real vacant look on my face.
Then she said her name, (and at that instant it helped that I remembered she had shed a VERY flattering amount amount of weight) my jaw dropped, my eyes must have bugged as I blurted her name, and saying "you look FABULOUS!!!".
