Occasionally I refer to actual people in my blog.  Out of respect for their privacy (they may not want their name passed around the internet), I use pseudonyms when referring to them.  However, for some consistency, I’m going to use a single pseudonym for each person.

• Arial is my darling beloved wife.
• Frank is my eldest son.  He’s the spitten^† image of me.  Currently 4½ years old.
• Steve is my youngest son.  Currently 2½ years old.

My mum, dad, grandparents, and brother may make appearances, but they’ll be refer to as such.  If pseudonyms develop for them, I’ll add them here.

^† My spell checker picked up “spitten” as wrong. The common phrase is “spit and image” but that’s so crude. Coincidentally enough, in Middle English, the word is “spitten,” so I’ve decided to keep it that way.
