I understand your view. But you can always tell by the tone of the person's voice (the person that said did you forget your name) I used to get pissed of when someone said this to me as I felt self conscious and more anxious. However I realised when you meet someone for the first time and you stutter on your name and they make the name remark I think the person is using it as an ice breaker to help them feel comfortable as both people are nervous when they meet someone new for the first time. I know for a fact if the person was aware that the person his meeting has a stutter or if he knew about stutter he would not make this comment. We need to understand that sometimes people are just unaware. For example when I call someone like the doctors and I start stuttering they cut the phone because they belive it's a signal issue but if I made them aware that I have a speech impairment the phone line wouldn't be cut. Its very easy for us to feel shame and mocked by these things because deep down we judge ourself more for stuttering then anyone else.
