Personally, I'd create a slug for the user with their first & last
names. There's a SluggableBehavior you can use for that (though, I
believe that functionality may be built-in now somewhere). Whatever
you use, you'll want to ensure that punctuation characters are dropped
and that accented characters are properly mapped to ascii equivalents.
As for having these pages available from root, just create a route like:
Router::connect(
'/:slug',
array('controller' => 'your_controller', 'action' => 'your_action'),
array('slug' => '/[_-a-z0-9]/', 'pass' => 'slug')
);
This assumes that your slugs consist of lowercase characters, digits,
hyphen, or underscore only. The slug will be passed to your action:
function my_action($slug = null) {}
Of course, you'll need to specify every other possible route before
this one and ensure that nobody can create a slug identical to any of
your controller routes.
