From my blog:
The Dominic System is the name of a mnemonic system that ingeniously uses people as devices for memory. The system was devised by Dominic O'Brien. It uses letters for numbers, just like the Major System. But in a different way. This system uses vowels as well as consonants in this manner:
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
E 5
S 6
G 7
H 8
N 9
O 0
Use the letters, as per the rules to create words out of numbers. The Dominic system is great for memorizing long nummbers. Or use them as initials, to represent people. Here is a tool to find famous people based on initials - peoplebyinitials.com/p/dominic-number-memory-system
You can make a nice system by memorizing 10 to 100 people using the Dominic system. There are various ways you can organize these people/initials. You could start with 00, then 01, 02, 03, 04 etc - or in other words: 00 - OO (Ozzy Osbourne) 01 - OA (Orphan Annie), 02 - OB (Orlando Bloom), 03 - OC (Oliver Cromwell), 04 - OD (Olympia Dukasis) etc. A disadvatage to the system is that some of these people may be unknown to you, and it may be challenging to find someone you know for all initials. But use the tool in the above link, and look up photos and bios of people you may not have heard of.
