I wonder how to find out the radical of a characters, I understand that for example 你 has the radical 人 (means the radical is in the front) but there are others where radicals are on the top or even in some other place of the character.  For example where the "door" is surrounding the mouth, or 名 where I just learned the radical is mouth !

Is there any rule on how to find that out? I think the identification of the radicals is important for looking up words in the dictionary if I do not know the pronunciation.
