How to Remember Names: Paul Rudd - Wie man sich Namen Merkt

This is the fifteenth episode in my series How to Remember Names. We have covered the Marvel Cinematic Univers actors recently. And today we talking about Paul Rudd who play Ant-Man.

As essentail part of memorizing anything is that we need an anchor point. For names this can usually be a part of the face or the body from that person. In our case we can also use a famous alter ego we know that person for. So our anchor for Paul Rudd will be Ant-Man in his shrinking suit.

Now we will try to find phonetically similar words because they will help us to remind ourselves about the actual name. For Paul I think we could use words like pull, pal, pale, poll, pole, pool. I have decided to go with the word poll. That is a bit abstract but can easily be translated into a ballot box.

His Family name Rudd sounds like rod, road, route, rat, rotten, rude, rodeo. The one I like best is the word rod. We can imagine a fishing rod.

Finally the best part of memorizing a name: Creating a funny and/or crazy story.

Paul Rod is wearing his Ant-Man costume has shrunk himself. He is inside a ballot box (poll) and attaches all the votes for his political opponent to a hook on a fishing rod. Someone pulls all the votes outside the box and destroys them.

You don't have to worry about that other person. Just visualize how the votes are being pulled outside the box from a mysterious stranger which you don't include into your picture.

Endlich erreichen wir den besten Teil des Prozesses: Das Erstellen einer Geschichte.

Paul Rudd trägt sein Ant-Man Kostüm und befindet sich in geschrumpfter Form innerhalb einer Wahlurne (poll). Er befestigt all die Stimmen seines politischen Gegners an einem Angelhaken (rod). Eine weitere Person zieht diese heraus und vernichtet sie.

Es ist hier nicht wichtig, sich die zweite Person vorzustellen. Konzentriert euch einfach drauf, wie der Angelhaken von einer mysteriösen Person hochgezogen wird, die Ant-Man hilft.
