Which verbs are suitable?

I am not good at (. ) people's names.

1) remembering
2) learning
3) memorizing

In my understanding, only 3) sounds weird unless his or her name is too long. Am I correct?

#3 would only really work if you, for example, often deal with people who have names that are hard to remember, or if you have to memorize lists of names. #2 might suggest that you find it hard to discover people's names. #1 is the best choice.

I am not good at recalling people's names. (you know the faces, but the names just refuse to emerge from your brain cells.)
