136 What's in a Name?
Zauber. When I remarked that it was an odd name, he told
me that in German, Zauber meant "magician." I had
already pictured myself sawing a bear. Saw bear—Zauber.
Either that, or "magician," would have helped me remem-
ber Mr. Zauber.
I have a very close friend whose last name is Williams.
His hobby happens to be playing Billiards, at which he is
exceptionally proficient. I have fallen into the habit of pic-
turing someone shooting or playing billiards whenever I
meet a Mr. Williams. This works just as well as actually
breaking down the name to yams (sweet potatoes) writing
their wills. Will yams—Williams. The first time I met a
Mr. Wilson, the first thought that came into my mind was
the slogan for a whiskey, "Wilson, that's all." Now, when-
ever I meet a Mr. Wilson, I picture a bottle of whiskey to
help me remember his name.
So, as I pointed out, you will eventually fall into certain
habits and use certain standards with particular names.
Just keep in mind that there isn't a name that can't be made
to mean something (to you) which will sound like the name
itself and help in bringing it to mind, when necessary.
Although your best method of practice is to go ahead and
use the system, here are some names which ordinarily are
completely abstract; have no meaning at all. Why not see
if you can create a substitute word, phrase or thought for
each one.
