P.S.: does anyone know anybody who recollects asking for their own name? Here is my story: Got aware that I got a name. Asked my mother what it was, but immediately forgot. Asked again, wishing to be able to recall it, but still forgot after a few minutes. Getting annoyed with myself for having forgotten. Asked again, then repeated it over and over to myself. Remembered it from there, success!
--this is quite impressive memory. "Infantile amnesia" afflicts most (all?) people preventing any event-memory before age of about 3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_amnesia There are occasionally those whose claim to remember back much further, but it is tough for them to prove it if so...
