Use "Did you know" in the first and "I forgot" in the second.

But if I want to use"present perfect",which of them will be correct?

 

[Barb_D]

If you wish to be correct, you should not try to use present perfect.

Did you meet Ann's new boyfriend?
Yes, but I've forgotten his name. -- This is okay. You knew it. You no longer knew it. But you can learn it again. You have forgotten it.
