Feathers  +  424892 Fri, 28 Sep 07 08:29 PM Hello, I hope this is the right forum to ask this.  I'm looking for a common way to ask someone's name you just missed.. which is just right, not too polite, not too casual, say, in a daily business situation.  How would you ask?  May I use one of these...? Sorry, I didn't catch your name --        #1. May I have your name again?        #2. What was your name again?        #3. What did you say your name was? Are all three fine?  I'd like to know what you'd say.. Thank you for your help, in advance. Feathers Joined on Thu, Jul 6 2006 Full Member 250
