How do you remember the name of the two classes of local anethtics?
ester class: benzocaine, chloroprocaine, cocaine, tetracaine
amide class: mepivacaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine, etidocaine, prilocaine, ropivacaine.
here is my silly way for amide: lido, tido, rilo, mepi, bupi, ropi 
Are there any more drugs for each class?

The way I remember it is:
Esters have one "i"
Amides have two "i"
