Inability or slowness to recall peoples' names. Especially in the case of names that you should be able to remember because you see the person more than occasionally. A variation of namesia is always wanting to call someone by a different name because they remind you of someone else (see "clonesia").
At the family reunion, I was embarrassed that my namesia prevented me from recalling my cousin's name.

The NameSake Effect

When you stumble upon the musical greatness of the band NameSake you are left with what i like to call ***THE NAMESAKE EFFECT***

It is the bittersweet aftermath of having heard one of their catchy songs, seen one of their swooning smiles or have been embraced by one of their hugs. This sensation leaves you craving more. You may not realize the limitless hours you spend searching youtube for more NameSake videos, the countless times you have checked their twitters, or that you stalk their facebooks at least a dozen times daily. Do not be alarmed this reaction to NameSake is normal.

Will, Troy, Seth, Kevin and Brad - these five boys are true talents with humble hearts, they are to blame for this brain shaking fixation. NameSake lyrics and melodies navigate your way into another world where there are no limits, no rules. Proceed with joy as you are engulfed in The NameSake Effect :)

FRIEND: "You have been single for months and still wont date anyone, why?"
ME: "Well why should I even bother dating, when I already know who will be my future husband, he is in the band NameSake."

Dude B: "That's your namesis man, you're in deep trouble."

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
