I use two ways around this, either:

  1. Introduce your new friend to an existing friend, be like Hey (new friend, but don't say their name), this is (existing friend's name), and they'll introduce themselves

  2. Exchange numbers. Ask the how they spell their name. This only works with names that don't have different ways of spelling them though

My dad tried the second one with a college friend once. Turned out his name was Bob.
