× Some portion names are so easier and meaningful, whereas others have some difficulties to pronunciations as well as difficult to understand.
✓ Some names are much easier and more meaningful, whereas others are difficult to pronounce and hard to understand.
The original uses 'so easier' and 'meaningful' awkwardly; comparative 'easier' must be modified by 'much' or 'far' not 'so' before a comparative. 'Portion name' is confused; 'names' is clearer. 'Have some difficulties to pronunciations' is incorrect collocation: use 'difficult to pronounce' or 'hard to pronounce'. Also use parallel structure: 'difficult to pronounce and hard to understand'. Improve by using correct modifiers and common collocations.
× Actually, it depends upon the portion name.
✓ Actually, it depends on the name.
Use 'depends on' not 'depends upon' in conversational contexts; 'portion name' is unidiomatic, so replace with 'name'. Keep the sentence concise.
× Some portion names are so easier and meaningful, whereas others have some difficulties to pronunciations as well as difficult to understand.
✓ Some names are much easier and more meaningful, whereas others are difficult to pronounce and hard to understand.
The phrase 'have some difficulties to pronunciations' misuses quantifier 'some' and collocation 'difficulties to'. Use 'difficult to pronounce' or 'have difficulty pronouncing'. Also ensure adjectives/adverbs match countable usage.
× Actually, I don't have to remember portion name by memorizing it, but by the familiar feelings, good connections and having their beautiful memorable meaning of name.
✓ Actually, I don't try to memorize a name; I remember it through familiar feelings, good connections, and its beautiful, memorable meaning.
Original mixes structures and incorrect gerund use. 'By memorizing it' is okay but 'don't have to remember ... by' is awkward. Use parallel gerund phrases or noun phrases: 'through familiar feelings, good connections, and its beautiful, memorable meaning.' Also add articles and fix word order.

✓ Actually, I don't try to memorize a name; I remember it through familiar feelings, good connections, and its beautiful, memorable meaning.
Pronoun 'their' mismatches singular 'name.' Use 'its' for singular 'name' or rephrase to plural if intended. Also include the article 'a' before 'name'.
× Actually it feels a bit sad when some clue ones doesn't remember my names whereas the one who is not as much close as well as stranger.
✓ Actually, I feel a bit sad when someone close doesn't remember my name, whereas it is normal when a stranger doesn't.
Errors: subject-verb agreement ('ones doesn't' incorrect; use 'someone' + 'doesn't' or 'people' + 'don't'). 'My names' should be singular 'my name'. Word order and word choice 'some clue ones' is ungrammatical; use 'someone close'. Also simplify contrast with strangers.
× Actually it feels a bit sad when some clue ones doesn't remember my names whereas the one who is not as much close as well as stranger.
✓ Actually, I feel a bit sad when someone close doesn't remember my name, but it's normal when a stranger doesn't.
Missing articles and awkward phrases: 'the one who is not as much close as well as stranger' should be 'a stranger' or 'someone who is not very close.' Use 'a' before singular countable nouns and correct idiomatic phrasing.

✓ Usually, on a busy day when I'm going to meet some close friends, I sometimes call them by the wrong names and upset them, which makes me a bit sad.
Preposition 'on a busy day' is correct but original 'I am on a busy day' is awkward; use 'on a busy day when I'm...' 'going to meet my some close friends' wrong order—'meet some close friends'. 'Remember different names of their' is incorrect; use 'call them by the wrong names'. Remove duplicate 'and get'. Improve clarity and verb choice.
× As for stranger, I didn't remember your name anymore because they are not.
✓ As for strangers, I don't remember their names anymore because they are not close to me.
Tense and agreement problems: 'didn't remember ... anymore' mixes past with 'anymore' suggesting present. Use present 'don't remember'. 'As for stranger' should be plural 'strangers'. 'Because they are not' is incomplete; add 'close to me'. Use consistent tense and clear subject reference.
