The mention of Furiosa does the same thing to him that the connection had done for Rey: his shoulders relax a little, he stops hunching over the food like at any minute he and Rey will have to start biting at one another for it.
"Helped her with a job," he nods, which is a peculiar way of explaining that mad rush with the wives. "You work with her here? The greenhouse?"
The war rig is sort of like Furiosa's way of testing compatibility: if you can grasp the importance of that sliver of her homeworld, you stand a chance at understanding her. So Max nods, and his expression loses some of its edge. "Means she likes you."
His personal opinion is that Furiosa likes people too easily, but there's so much that's familiar about Rey, so much that he can read and understand, that he thinks Furiosa was right to show Rey the rig.

It's not that she forgot the name, honestly, it's that she still can't believe that thing that had had such an accurate name.
