It's fine to use the Name Field for a short easily seen note but I'd be putting the note in privacy brackets (double square brackets for those who haven't discovered them yet - they can be used in any field) so that it doesn't mess up publishing. These people may not be published but you can do this for real family members as well when you have trouble remembering which Mary is which.
