 What’s the term for the condition where you can’t remember the names for things? 
 Anomia 
 Isn't that where you can remember the name but not what it means? 
 No. That’s auditory comprehension (usually in wernicke’s aphasia). Anomia is typically in fluent (Broca’s aphasia) where you are not able to appropriate label an object/idea/etc. 
 Appropriately*
