Thanks Lizzo! You can count on me to assist in the decorations... 
And Fluffy... exactly what Rock said. Don't try too hard. Don't overthink. Don't worry about how you might sound or if you look silly... just let it happen.
Sure, you might mess up, look silly or whatever... happens to the best of us! Just laugh and move on. If you can, try to cover up your flub IC:
"We've never met before?! Oh... I'm so sorry, I must have overheard your name..."
(most RPers will take this as an honest mistake and play along)
(or... if you happen to have a shifty character type)
/em smirks, eying (the other character) thoughtfully. "Ah yes... well... that was unfortunate of me..." (just if you decide to go this route, keep the 'I know you' vibe on the downlow. You are trying to cover up your metagaming of seeing the "floating name" and using it IC... not making it worse!
If played right, this could make for some great RP ops.)
If you can't just OOC it:
((Ooops! ignore that...))
or
((I -totally- didn't just jump up and run into that wall...))
But most of all: relax and just have fun!
