Yes. If I forgot someone's name after meeting them it would be like me saying "you're not important enough to me to remember your name." It's especially insulting when you think about how many people you meet once and do remember their name.

I'd imagine if you literally worked with them, 5 days out of a week.. after two weeks, yeah that would be at the very least strange.
My name is Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff.
You better remember it and pronounce it properly!
It's great to meet you H.B.W. - can I call you buh-dubs (like the Netflix jingle) for short?
I had a brain fart when talking to a new coworker and couldn’t remember her name. She was very attractive, and this had clearly never happened to her before. She became very agitated and upset about it. (She wasn’t a b*tch or anything, just unaware of the benefits she got from being pretty.)
I was always nice and respectful to her, but for the rest of our time working together, I continued forgetting her name and it drove her nuts.
