I've found that if you speak slowly and clearly and emphasize different aspects of people's names and alter the cadence of your speaking tone, it works well.
For example, if you have "Andy, Amy and Jamie" as contacts
Try creating names such as "Andrew Cell", "Amy Car" and "Jamie Cellular".
It's extra work (trying to remember it), but it works (almost) all of the time.
Other differentiating terms I use are house and home, office and work, etc.
Try not using any word that sounds like a word that you've already used...that's the easy part.
Try remembering the names...that's the hard part!
