Not cause a scene, but, if the drill sarge (or company commander in my case) remembers your name, it means you took extra effort on his/her part, which is never a good thing, unless you like verbal abuse and pushups.
14 years ago was boot for me, and I can still remember the names that my CC would call out daily:
"Puckett (an airhead), Fountain (an arrogant kid who always tried to find a way around the rules, but ALWAYS got caught), Stone (Overweight and lazy - perfect personality for his name)...Humphrey (the lights were on, but he was never home), you ain't NEVER gonna impress me!" (imagine being said by a very short, VERY angry Filipino - my CC, MMC(SW) "Mad Dog" Mirador)
If it wasn't so said and miserable for those guys, it was almost comical to hear each day, but then, we got "mashed" (exercised) for their mistakes, so there wasn't much laughter.
Forgetting your name means you were a good recruit.
