The Name Game

Self,

I been trying to firgure out what to do when I need to refer to other people in these notes.
The irony is that these are private "Notes to [my] Self" but as Pharaoh. I am obligated to share the wisdom these notes contain with my subjects and others in general, so these notes are on public display. What to do?

I could simply adopt the age-old philosophy of adding the disclaimer "the names have been changed to protect the innocent" but come on... "Innocent," ....really? Maybe in the sense of innocent bystanders...but that may not always be the case. And even if the innocent factor wasn't an issue, changing names would mean I would then have to keep track of the psuedo names I give each person. I'm much to busy ruling my kingdom to keep up with that.

Of course what I would aim to do is name people based on circumstances within the note itself. This is how "Mr. Rescuer" showed up in This will most likely be my standard operating proceedure. However when the circumstances doesn't easlily lend itself to fit I'll have to invent something.

One such invention was the term "Prince of the Realm" (aka PotR).

A Prince or Princess of the Realm is an individual who is held in high enough regard that I don't consider the person one of my subjects. However he or she is not equal to Pharaoh (see note to understand why, although these individuals my be a king or queen in their own territory, that being their life. Plural: Peers of the Realm

That being said I thought of a couple other terms I should define in case I have need to use them in the future.

Blood of the Realm: a Prince or Princess of the realm that is related to Pharaoh by geneitc blood lines. Special cases are Pharaoh Mother, Pharaoh Father, and Brother Pharaoh - obviously my motther, father, and brother.


The Lesson here:
Have fun with this.

Sincerely,
Pharaoh, loyal subject of the Supreme Creator.
