Whats Your Name Again in Spanish

• #i

How do I translate: "What'due south your proper name again?"
Meaning that I actually already know it, but I just can not retrieve it in this moment.

• #2

¿Me dices otra vez cómo te llamas?
¿Me repites tu nombre?
¿Me dices tu nombre otra vez?

• #3

All of those three suggestions imply that I take indeed asked the same question to the aforementioned person before. But this is not necessarily the case.
Another instance. I can non remember person A's name so I inquire person B if he knows. "What'southward his name again" is perfectly right in English. I can use "again", even though this is the very offset fourth dimension I ask this question to person B. All that "again" means is that I take it somewhere in the back of my caput, simply information technology doesn't come to me right now.

The suggestions from Alex don't work now.
¿Me dices otra vez cómo se llama?
¿Me repites su nombre?
¿Me dices su nombre otra vez?

All of this implies that I have asked B about this before but I haven't.
My question is obvious: how would I translate "What's his name again"?

• #4

Podría ser: "¿Me recuerdas su nombre?" o mejor "¿Me puedes recordar su nombre?" si no quieres decir "otra vez"

• #5

¿Cuál era tu/su nombre?
¿Cómo te llamabas/se llamaba?

• #6

All of those 3 suggestions imply that I have indeed asked the same question to the same person earlier. Just this is non necessarily the case.
Another example. I can non think person A'due south proper noun so I ask person B if he knows. "What's his name again" is perfectly right in English. I can use "again", even though this is the very showtime time I ask this question to person B. All that "over again" means is that I have it somewhere in the back of my head, but it doesn't come to me right now.

En ese caso, para expresar ese matiz, podríamos tal vez poner el verbo en pretérito imperfecto?:
¿C ómo te llamabas? o A ver, ¿ cómo te llamabas?

Perdona Argonida, no me di cuenta de tu respuesta...
