I've forgotten the name of the team(s) I'm being considered for — will asking the recruiter reflect poorly on me?

So this is somewhat embarrassing...
I'm most of the way through a job application with "Company A" -- I've had phone screenings, on-sites, and then one final meet-and-greet with a bunch of hiring managers whose teams I would potentially be joining. So far so good and it looks like they may make me an offer. I met with the hiring managers and they mentioned their team names at the start of the conversation, and then we chatted for an hour or so on a huge number of topics.
Lo and behold, after a weekend, the names of the particular teams "Company A" had me meet with have slipped my mind. I'm very excited about the work the teams are doing, it's not a situation where I don't care / am uninterested, I just had a brain fart and forgot.
The recruiter is following up with me and wants to know if I'm leaning towards any particular team, but I'm blanking on what to say back since I don't remember the team names and I'm worried it will reflect poorly on me if I ask, and might impact my salary negotiations.
Is there a tactful way to recover from this? I've tried googling the people I met with (ironically I remember all their names) but they do not list their specific teams on their online profiles and there is no public company directory.

So are you leaning towards any particular team? If the answer is "No" then forgetting the names doesn't matter. You could always say "Jim Doe's Team", since you remember individual names.

@JoeStrazzere I will update the OP but yes -- I am leaning towards one team, but one of the managers I met with oversees multiple teams, so just saying "Jim Doe's Team" is unfortunately not specific enough!

So are you leaning towards any particular team? If the answer is "No" then forgetting the names doesn't matter. You could always say "Jim Doe's Team", since you remember individual names.

@JoeStrazzere I will update the OP but yes -- I am leaning towards one team, but one of the managers I met with oversees multiple teams, so just saying "Jim Doe's Team" is unfortunately not specific enough!
