When I first started posting I noticed that 
chikuru used initials to talk about people in his real life. This gave them some anonymity as only mutual friends would be able to figure out who he was talking about.
I thought this was a good idea and have generally used it myself. I then noticed thateds3 used aliases for his friends. I really like that, so have decided to start using aliases myself in future posts.
I do often wonder ifeds3 keeps the alias list in his head, a piece of paper, or on his computer somewhere.

I know one other person who used aliases for a while, based on things like their middle name, but he decided it was too hard keeping track of them and decided to switch to their real names.
1) a person's livejournal name is automatically their alias.
2) if they have no livejournal name, I try to choose something about them for an easy mnemonic- for example, the woman I call Caledonia is a fan of all things Scottish (would that be Hibernophile?), and the fellow I call Stanley is a great fan of the films of Stanley Kubrick.
