This seems like it could be dangerous: some people might find it weird or even take offence. And if you get too much into the habit, what happens when you meet someone whose most salient feature is something you really don't want to be commenting on? "Nice to meet you, Fred with the enormous nose." "Nice to meet you, Alice with the pimples."
or the really pretty eyes! Yes I bet it could get you into trouble. Use your best judgement? Also the way you say it matters a lot too. "you're really tall" can come out as a positive or a negative. But that sort of knowledge belongs in a social-skills lesson, not so much in a name-learning one...
