I try to learn my student's names. I was a student once and wanted to be respected so I do the same for my students. Knowing their names is respecting who they are.

David,
I agree with how important learning their names really is. It is both a showing of respect for them as well as making a connection with who they are.

David was actually one of my students in the past and he is correct about how important learning names quickly is. Sometimes i will even use nicknames to establish a personal connection.

I agree. I do word association games in my head to learn student names, & make a point to use their names, in context, early on to help me remember.
