A little conversational trick to mitigate the embarrassment that comes from tartling:
When you're about to tartle, apologise to the person you're introducing and ask their name, when they reply with their forename say "Yes I knew that, I meant what's your surname?"

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
