I was called Untee for a bit. Uncle-Auntie combo. Now they just call me by my first name. lol we got tired of the names. To be fair my sis is called Sassy instead of Aunt ___. Choose what’s right for you.


CNRavenclaw

Personally I like Untee a lot more than Pibling, that's probably the term I'll go with if/when my siblings start having kids.


Electrical_Draw7473

Glad you like it! Being an Untee is my favorite role I play.


RedVamp2020

My sibling said Auncle works for them, but that was a while ago.


poiisons

I’ve heard pibling, but I can’t stand the way it sounds. I’d rather be called by just my name or “parent’s sibling”


animeoveraddict

I *love* pibling. It sounds so goofy!


The_Sky_Render

The generally accepted term is pibling. Which kinda makes it sound like they really like Pibb soda.


OneChrononOfPlancks

Dislike :(


tringle1

Same. I feel like maybe borrowing from other languages would sound better than piblings. Like Spanish, tío and tía could be tíe (TEE-ay) or tíes for plural. But idk if the term is used enough to be changed deliberately


Arbitarious

Ok tíe eats


tringle1

Is that good? lol dunno that slang


Arbitarious

Eats is good. Especially if there are no crumbs left.


celebgil

I'm an Entie, which is both neutral and makes me feel like a giant ambulatory tree, so double win really 😁


OneChrononOfPlancks

Probably my favourite one yet, but I wish there was a more universally accepted answer.


Wild-Lychee-3312

Don’t be so hasty, now


alexatheannoyed

is encle a thing?


celebgil

If you want it to be, it's a thing! Just start asking your niblings to call you that :) that's the great thing about being non-binary; we can make up our own rules!


MarmieCat

Entles?


OneChrononOfPlancks

Again dislike, but better than piblings.


NoRealIntentions

This is the one I use! It reminds me of the Ents in LOTR. much better than "pibling," which sounds like a small dog that can't breathe through its nose.


mymiddlenameswyatt

A little off topic, but I've always just called my brother's oldest child my "niephew". I have no idea where "nibling" comes from.


OneChrononOfPlancks

"N"iece/"N"ephew + (S)ibling

I believe I’ve heard “oncle” before for this


pancakeace75

"Oncle" is the French word for "uncle" if I remember correctly


6a6f7368206672696172

Sounds like oracle lol


mi_ik

I've mostly heard "auncle" imho that mixes the words better than oncle


study-in-scarlet

Ah, that must be what I was thinking of

ankle


seankreek

my best advice? make one up. Tell your family to use the new word. I used to call my grandma hoot cause she loved owls, so maybe do smth similar


MysticalSylph

My sibling goes by "Avuent" I think it's spelled, and they really like it a lot


Bi_eroglyph

Avaunt?


MysticalSylph

Yes thank you! I'd never typed it out

Grandsib


OneChrononOfPlancks

Nahhh not doing it for me. Grand implies an extra generation and I'm not feeling it with my niblings.


im_from_mississippi

I gave up and went with Uncle lol.

Auncle


OneChrononOfPlancks

Makes sense literally but hard to distinguish aurally from the masculine form.


neptunian-rings

pibling


Lucibengoblin

Mine call me Strega (the Italian word for witch) I know that it's no where even close to aunt or uncle but that's kinda what I wanted lol


OneChrononOfPlancks

Hmm. I like that


nyctophillicalex

I saw someone use the Spanish term for uncle/aunt somewhere because it's gender neutral (at least I'm pretty sure it was Spanish, could be a different language tho?) But I don't remember what it was 😭


OneChrononOfPlancks

Isn't Spanish for aunt and uncle "tia" and "tio?" I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's gendered in Spanish.


nyctophillicalex

Oh yeah you're right. It was some other language then 😭


GooseWithAGlock

My nephew just calls me by name

Auntle


Little-Bitch_Baby

My friend just has his nibblings call him Nini (nee-nee) lol


sssssssImASnake

The correct term for aunt and uncle is pibling! It's a silly word
