If you blindly trust fingerprints fetched "from the Internet" and insert them
into your MyFamily string, then you might as well just use nicknames there.
Actually this is what I do, and while it does have the same downside as your
tool ("what if someone uses the same nickname"), at least it's much simpler,
human-readable in torrc, and not requiring any extra scripts.
