Is it okay to change a family members name in a personal statement?

spm244 · October 2022

I want to include a small story about my siblings, but also feel kind of uncomfortable using their real names. But at the same time, if they wanted to, law schools could easily look up my family members. It would be weird if they looked it up and saw that I didn't have any siblings with the names in my PS.
