told You are talking about a past event.
This is an odd thing to ask someone. A person doesn't forget his own name. Your question implies that the person told you a false name. that he may have now forgotten.
More natural is this. eg Sorry, I have forgotten your name. Please tell me again.
Is this what you mean?
