Re: #4, the single most useful association that I have found is associating the name with a song that that name appears in. Obviously, this fails for many names, but when it works surpasses any other method.

This is true for me even though I have a better visual memory than auditory. I believe that part of why it is so effective for me is that my auditory memory works much better for music than for other auditory inputs.
