I don't know all of my grandparents names but they were all in my life.

Pretty surprising to me; haven't you expressed some curiosity about your grandparents or had them talk about their lives. Ever seen your parents birth certificates or marriage certificates?
Have you ever considered asking your parents?
I never used their name when they were alive, they were morfar to me. I can pretty quickly find their name in Google but it doesn't stick in my brain.
You can memorize your dead relatives names, but, like, why?
