However nowadays, when I see someone I vaguely remember, I just introduce myself assuming that they can't remember my name either.

Does that actually work? If someone asked me "What's your name, again?" and I told them, and they said "No, I meant your last name", I'd be calling bull**** in my head so fast, lol.

When people want to know your last name, they ask you "What's your LAST name?" 99.99999999999999% of the time.
