I’ve seen it and read it many times. I’m familiar with the memory palace technique, but I have difficulties using it for names and I still haven’t found much about it. Can someone help me?

Could you maybe give an example of a few names that you have trouble with. Makes answering your question easier if we have something tangible to talk about.
Obrigado

Generally, you want to start with the 3Fs – friends, family, and fools; and create an association. The “fools” category covers everything from actors to singers to random celebrities that you can easily form an association with. Basically, everyone that your brain has already been “fooled” into thinking they are important to know.
I can’t really think of friends and family with that name instantly. I’m sure I know some, but you don’t want to force it too much… if it’s not there, it’s not there. But I can easily think of the actor Robert De Niro
Now you form an association with the person called Roberto whom you are trying to remember. Since Robert sounds a bit like “robber” you can imagine him as a bank robber with a bag full of money. In fact, he robbed a bank in Argentina so it’s not money in the bag but “dinero” and then ran across the border to Brazil.
With that little story you will then be reminded of Robber Dinero when you see him, which will in turn give you Robert De Niro, which will remind you of his name – Roberto.
If you don’t think the association is strong enough yet, keep working on the story. Maybe all the banks were closed already, so he robbed a bar or two instead. That will then give you Rob Bar Two which is pretty close to Roberto. By the way, you probably want to rob “two” bars if you initially wanted to rob a bank because there’s a lot less money there to steal.
You can also support the visual image with some sound if that is something your brain can do and play https://youtu.be/H87yGvoCNHU on the jukebox is the bar that he’s robbing. You can give him three singing bananas to create that association. Of course this only works if you know the song and the band.
Maybe he hands you some of the money he stole and you feel it’s sticky from spilled beer and smells of alcohol and cigarettes. It’s okay if you can’t do that though, most people just work with the image itself. It’s nice to add other senses, but they’re generally weaker, so it’s no big deal if you can’t make it work… give it a try though.
If the 3Fs are not an option because you don’t know Robert De Niro then you have to work with the word itself. The Portuguese “robô” should give you enough to make it work. Imagine him in a robot costume or as Robocop (if you’ve seen the movie), etc. You win if you speak some German because “Roboter” is an anagram of Roberto.
Same as above… Chandler Bing’s ex-girlfriend in the TV show Friends, Janis Joplin as far as the 3Fs. If that doesn’t work, Jane from Tarzan and Jane eating ice cream whilst swinging through the jungle.
If additionally I had to form an association between Roberto and Janice, I’d go with the 3fs and and have her sing https://youtu.be/5Cg-j0X09Ag where Bobby is the shortened version of Robert.
Try and turn it into a sentence “Jo-se-fa” or maybe “Joe se veste”. Instead of a person named Joe, I’ll just get the “Jo” from jogging, so I can Josefa getting dressed whilst jogging. That’s pretty though to do and give me a funny and memorable image.
Maybe you can now try 2 or 3 names and we can give you feedback on how you’re doing.

Sorry, I forgot to answer that bit explicitly. Generally, you don’t do that for Names & Faces because you’re trying to only get an association between these two things. That bank robber from the example above for example. The connection is between him and the image… there is no need to place that information inside a memory palace.
A memory palace only makes sense if you want a list of names instead of associating the person with their name. If somebody asked you for all the names of the people that came late to the meeting is a memory palace, but that has nothing to do with knowing a persons name.
Put differently… maybe you can say the person’s body is the memory palace. If I give Roberto three bananas in his hands, some stolen bar money falling out of his pockets, etc. You could still call that a memory palace if you wanted to… however, if we start doing that it’ll get a bit confusing because that’s generally not what we mean by a memory palace.
