六日 is on my mnemonic-hate-list… because they give you “moo” and “car” and never mention, that there is an i-sound inbetween. So i remember the mnemonic, am happy to remember it, type the hiragana and fail.
So the new mnemonic is “that word, on which they omitted the i-sound” … but that is not rewarding, somehow. 
(edit): Oh… now it is probably “that word, for which i gravedug a thread in the forums”. Sorry! >.<
The way I remember it is that “things have the little tsu for 3,4, 6, and 8, while days only have it for 3 and 4. So six things is muttsu, but six days has something different in the middle. What was it, oh right, the moo-ey car.”
I still sometimes get those dumb thing/day readings wrong though.
moo-ey car ist nice! I now think of a car with a cow pattern drawn on it that makes “moo!” when you try to honk. 
Thank you!
Wow… 名 is now on my most-dreaded-list.
The meaning is simple - I knew it already due to duolingo (but as vocabulary item, not as kanji).
But the mnemonic with the “evening mouth” and “it appears in may” … it has nothing to do with each other. How is that considered a mnemonic. Gnaaah. (sorry)
Yeah for that one I just ignored the mnemonic and remembered the めい reading from 有名 which comes up fairly frequently in anime.
I doubt anyone has trouble with the な reading because of 名前 
I just remember the reading because it’s so common - 名物 名所, etc. The hardest part is guessing when it will be na instead.
