I'm supposed to be writing an essay but I'm procrastinating, so I thought I'd make a CAF. Just follow the naming rules for each family member. Some of them have specific rules for nicknames, in which case that family member must have a nickname. If there's no nickname specified, you can add one if you want, but it's not required. This isn't judged, just for fun. :)
