First named only. Even though I called my own aunts and uncles "aunt or uncle first name", I feel like it sounds really off to do it for my LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073187 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:49:45 +0000 swurlygurl 2073187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is Auntie Sissy, everyone else is just Aunt or Uncle first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073178 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:44:55 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2073178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: same here, except we say maama and athia instead of mami. One set of cousins is periappa and periamma (big dad &amp; big mom)</p> <p>For my side and our close friends, it's uncle and auntie :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073175 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:42:07 +0000 mrsjazz 2073175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Not my family but my best friend is Puerto Rican and she is also LO's godmother. She calls her Titi, but she liked Titi so much that she calls my close friends who are like aunts to her Titi, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073071 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 09:56:05 +0000 Alivoo01 2073071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesn't formally say the name yet, but we refer to my brother and my cousins as "cow foo (first name)". Cow foo being the proper Chinese uncle term for my mom's side. For everyone else, it's Aunt or Uncle (first name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073056 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 09:45:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 2073056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aunt Whatever and Uncle whatever.

One of our good friends is Puerto Rican and I would love for her to be Tia or Titi.</p> <p>@Anagram: awe, I like that- lots of "mommies"</p> <p>@mrsjyw: cul is the coolest thing ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073046 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 09:37:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2073046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably get blank stares for this one, but I love the cute nn and first name basis the Kardashians use with their neices and nephews. So cute. Koko, Kiki, Kenny for Khloe, Kim, and Kendall respectively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2073040 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 09:33:00 +0000 JerricaBenton 2073040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess this is uncommon but we were always just first name family so LO just uses their first names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2072607 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 22:09:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2072607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uncle first letter of his name x2.

Those are the names for aunt and uncle in my husbands language and LO already goes seem least between English mama (me) and Tamil mama (uncle).</p> <p>For my brothers and sisters, she hasn't said their names yet because she's 19 months but she can point to the right person when I say "Aunt Mary" or whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-call-their-aunts-and-uncles#post-2072550 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 21:24:24 +0000 ALV91711 2072550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two sisters. One he calls Auntie and the other Auntie Mel. He came up with the system himself.

So now that's what he calls him: "Jungle"!</p> <p>What does your LO call their aunts and uncles? </p>
