Sometimes, people don't like it when I talk about them in my writing. I usually deal with this issue by giving them code names or pseudonyms so that I can freely gossip about them without making them feel self-conscious. These are some names I may use for my family.
My father: Dad, Absent-minded Professor, Great Deku Tree, Ned Stark, he who brings home bacon
My mother: Mom, Generous Soul, Impa, Catelyn Stark, she who cooks bacon
My older brother: Joe, Hulk Smash, Link, Robb Stark, he who snarfs bacon
(Me): Sarah, Little Miss Author, Navi, Sansa Stark, she who burns bacon
My younger sister: Judy, Wandering Siren, Zelda, Arya Stark, she who wants bacon brought to her room
My younger brother: Paul, Angel-child, Epona, Bran Stark, he who is happy with any sort of bacon
My youngest brother: James, Genius-child, Kid Link, Rickon Stark, he who will only eat bacon
Yes, I'm aware that the Game of Thrones thing is cheesy, but my siblings and I so just happen to fall in the same order as the children of that venerable family, so I'm going to roll with it and you'll have to deal. I'm not sorry. I am a little sorry about the Ocarina of Time references, given how only like one of them is accurate and that would be me as Navi because I'm really obnoxious.
I'll probably add more as we go on, but it may or may not be easier to just say "my one friend" or "this person I know." I used to make up names for everybody, but I'm lazy now. Ta.
