I wonder if anyone doesn't use any names, just a work around. When I was married to my fist wife her parents were older than mine. He was a retired Marine Colonel. I certainly didn't feel comfortable calling him "Jim." By the same taken I didn't call her by her first name either. I guess one couldn't call one by name and not the other.

I've been remarried for 43 years so it was a long time ago, but "Sir" and "Mam'n" were likely the terms I used. They were from the South.

IIRC, I tended to avoid proper nouns just using the work around. My ex didn't call my parents by their first names either. What she did call them out of presence is not printable here.
