What can we call ourselves besides aunt and uncle?

My brother and I both agree that the term “Uncle” is just plain boring, and does not sound all that appealing. I also am not all that interested in ever being an “Aunt.” I have tried to do research on other endearing terms aunt and uncle alternatives (and not foreign language names that mean “Uncle” and “Aunt”), but cannot seem to find anything.

What do you call yourself if you are an “Aunt” or an “Uncle,” or what do you call your relatives who fit this role, but not this name? — Laura

  1. Everyone in our family has nicknames. For example: Grandpa is pop pop, grandma is grammie, Aunt Michelle is Aunty Shelly, Aunt Lori is Oli, Uncle Louis is Gouie and Aunt Victoria is Gicki. So I guess it all depends on the family?
