For me, while trying to roleplay, the most basic step is to remember the names of important characters like vassals, wife, children and not mix them up.
I happen to know two languages: Lithuanian and English, so I am familiar with the names of those cultures. It gets harder with other European cultures like French or German, though I still have some familiarity with the names if nothing else. What's really tough for me is non-European names, especially the Indian ones. I just can't roleplay properly as those characters because those names are very unfamiliar to me.
I know that everyone needs to have a proper name for their culture but does anyone have any suggestions for how I can keep track of people with unfamiliar names?
