I seems to me that no one really took into account that we are talking about _freewriting_.
The whole point of freewriting is that you don't stop to reflect, but write down your stream of consciousness without editing it in any way.
From the rule that, while freewriting, you shouldn't correct orthography, find the right words, or even force yourself to stay on topic, but write whatever comes into your mind, it follows that regarding names you should also **use whichever label comes to your mind first** : a name ("Peter"), a characterisation ("the man"), or a placeholder ("M") – and then write on. You will _know_ who you refer to, even if that label changes in the course of writing, and you will remember who you thought of when you revise your text later.
