My best friend just adopted a baby, and she wants me to be called Aunt, but Aunt just sounds so plain.?

Question

Any suggestions of what else could be used. We have another friend who has already chosen to be called Nana...so that is out! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

Why not Tia, it means Aunt in spanish.

Answer 2

My younger nieces and nephews call me "Auntie". They do not even use my name, I am just "Auntie".

You could find out what they call Aunts in other languages, and use one of those that appeals to you.

Or...just wait and see what the little girl calls you. Sometimes they come up with the cutest nicknames for the people they love!

Answer 3

What about Auntie? I have a friend who's british and her children call all their aunts Auntie Jane, Auntie Marie, Auntie Kathleen...It sounds so cute i love it

Answer 4

Auntie

Answer 5

Assuming that Kacie is your name, why not "Aunt K," "KayKay," "Aunt Kace," "Kace," "Auntie K," Kaytia" (Using the "Kay" sound from your name and adding "tia," which is Spanish for "aunt.") or even just "Tia"?

You could also call yourself "Aunt Kacie" to the baby and wait and see what he or she calls you when beginning to talk. That might give you a really cute name!

Answer 6

if the baby was adopted from another country you could be called aunt but in that country's language

Answer 7

If you guys are gay (which it sounds like, since you want to be more than just a aunt) then one can be mom and one can be dad. Other wise aunt, auntie, auntie sarah (whatever ur name is), te te (short for auntie), good luck.

Answer 8

My sisters are called "tia" (aunt in Spanish)

Answer 9

My kids call my sister Auntie Jen-Jen - her name's Jennifer. Her little one calls me Auntie Deborah.

Answer 10

How about Tia? this is auntie is spanish, it has a flair to it and is not commonly used.
