Do you say someone's name when you greet them or say goodbye?

For example: "Hello, John. How are you today?" or "Goodbye, Kentravious."

I just noticed that I never say their name and most other people do. Am I some kind of freak?

In a business setting, always.

Casual, not so much.

some people just assume you don't know their name if you don't use it when you greet them

I hardly ever say someone's name unless I'm mentioning them to someone else.

I never say names. Most of the time I dont remember their name anyways.

Just a "Hey, how are you?" "Alright, Cya later"

I always get their name wrong on purpose. Nothing I don't care more than getting their name wrong.

When meeting someone, ask for their name, shake their hand, and say their name back to them. You won't forget their name anytime soon.

This also helps when first meeting a chick, because it shows her that you are making a mental effort to remember her
