PS- I just thought of something. The oldest nephew-my sister's son- in the family had issues saying "uncle" and the name "Eddy". He would say "Munkle" and then in a short time said "Monkey Eddy". (I guess it flowed better.) Now, every child including mine, refers to my brother as "Monkey Eddy". He's the fun uncle. Monkey Eddy loves it. It's given him a special title that no other has and it's also different. I'm not saying refer to your brother-in-law as "Monkey", but maybe find a special name to call him so all children can distinguish him as "special". It'll probably make him feel special as well as distinguished in the family.
PPS- This has lasted over- 16 years of this name. The oldest 2-kids are getting ready to graduate from high school and address him still as "Monkey Eddy".
