"I know you are" when presented name
What do you imply by answering "I know you are" when you are first presented his / her name by the person?

I saw in a movie two times a man answered so to a woman in a bar even though they just looked they saw each other for the first time.

Answer

This means that they've either heard the name of that person somewhere before and registered the face with it. Or they have been stalking you...one of the two.

Thanks for sharing your ideas ;)

Answer

It is probably just boy-girl banter.
"Hi! My name's Mary".
"I knew it! You look like a 'Mary'."
