I associate what seems like the main component of their name with an object, and then imagine that object interact with the person.

For example, if someone's name was Mike, I would picture them singing into a mic (say, at karaoke). Then, if you can't remember their name, try to recall what you imagined them doing. Once you get into the habit it is fairly quick and doesn't disrupt introductions.
