Question about that one anime character name that took me 3 hours to remember

Was watching a clip from Attack on Titan the other night and this side character appeared. I knew I recognized his face but his name just would not come to me. Spent like 3 whole hours searching through episode lists on my phone before I finally found it was Marlo Freudenberg. That guy is barely in 5 episodes and his name took forever to pop up in my brain. Has anyone else had a character name just totally escape you for way too long?

Man my brain does this ALL the time with side characters. I once spent an ENTIRE evening trying to remember the name of that one guy from Naruto who has the long nose and ended up just calling him "beak dude" for like a week straight. Makes me feel like my memory is FULL of holes sometimes.

Beak dude, that's brutal lmaoo. @grantadams you just made me spit out my drink, I can't believe you called him that for a whole week. My brain would just give up and start calling every side character "that one guy" too.
