using slugs (cakedc utils plugin sluggable or cake syrup)
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/mariano/2007/03/24/sluggable-behavior
and in routes
App::import('Lib', 'routes/UserRoute');
Router::connect('/:slug', array(
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'view'),
array('routeClass' => 'UserRoute'));
you could specify the form the slug must be there too
see the section Passing parameters to action in the cake book
http://book.cakephp.org/view/945/Routes-Configuration#Passing-parameters-to-action-949
adapt the advice on Mark Story routing class
