A table like this (or call it nicknames? aliases?
sobriquets?) can be used
either way you decide the question of whether or not to have a
single row for AMO & BIL. (And you don't have to make the
same decision in the future regarding another immigrant male
as you do with AMO/BIL.)
So anyway, you've got options. No doubt enough to give your self
enough rope to hang yourself with, but that's life. :-)
