memorableness
Quality worth remembering
The quality of being worth remembering or easy to remember.
Memorableness is what makes certain experiences, phrases, or moments stick in the mind while others fade: The memorableness of her speech came from its emotional honesty, not its rhetoric.
The word is formal and somewhat awkward; memorable itself often serves better.
