Do I have eidetic memory?
I walked into a bar and ordered some food, then suddenly realized I recognized all the people working there were people I saw when wandering through high school halls. What the fuck?
Then I told them I knew them from high school and I recalled all their names and they were all like "whhaaatttt????"
How did you recall their names? You clearly have a very good memory, one way or another, but it might not be eidetic.
The thing about eidetic memory is that it's also called "photographic memory" for a reason. People with eidetic memory remember whole images with amazing clarity. For example, someone with eidetic memory in your situation might not directly remember the names, but might remember the pages of their high-school yearbook. They could compare the people they were seeing to the pictures in the book, and then just read the names back off the pages themselves.
Is that how you pulled off this feat? If so, then maybe you do have eidetic memory (though it would be best to test it more rigorously, to make sure). If not, then I'm afraid it's not eidetic, though it's still very impressive.

Maybe I read it in a yearbook, maybe I heard their names being called before. I just have one autistic ass memory I guess
