What I often do to provide more readable urls, is to make urls like

Code:
www.example.com/authors/123/john_doe

Here, john_doe is just the name from the database, passed through url_title().
There may be more names that end up as john_doe after url_title() but that is no problem because the name is purely for readability. The number is what the system uses to find the record.
