"直到..." is for describing a time frame that began in the past and continued until a point close to the present. 

it has 2 sentence structure:

第一个:直到+time/event +subject+才...

 example: 直到晚上8我才回家  (it wasn't until 8 o'clock in the evening that I went home.)

第二个:直到+time/event+sub+都,不/没

example: 直到毕业我们都没说过话 ( we had never spoken until we graduated.)

sometimes people ask you how old are you, and then you replied "我大概25岁左右。“

at this time, that person will ask you: "25岁左,还是右?”  it means " you are younger than 25, or older than 25 years old

I think it would be better to say  "我记不起来她的名字"  ( i can't recall her name) instead of "我想不出来她的名字."

thanks for this lesson !
