All of this stress seems so unnecessary, just call everyone by their first name unless they provide an alternative.

How do you know they meant?

Bit puzzled as to why anyone would say you must mean first name, not 'Christian name' :huh: And as the above poster said: how do you know what they meant?

No, I specifically didn't. I used 'Christian' (with forethought) because the person concerned received her name at baptism in a Christian church. I don't use it for someone who did not, specifically someone of another faith.

I call my dad richard because for some reason I feel super awkward saying 'dad'
He's not my real dad - but he's been with my mum since I was a baby and he's the only dad I've ever had since my own didnt want to know.
His daughter is my sister though. I call her my sister, I love her like my sister and her baby is my niece, and she's pregnant again that will also be my niece or nephew.
My sister doesn't call my mum mum though because she has her own, although my mum loves her like her daughter and calls my niece her granddaughter.
All of my dads family think of my mum as a sister/aunt as well
The wife was just being mean and petty imo

Is the ex-husband still the uncle though?

No, because he's no longer married to the child's aunt.

No. Because they are no longer married, and he was only an uncle through marriage.

Yes, of course he is!

My husband's brother was married for a number of years (about 13-14,) to his first wife, and they had a child, and me and hubby were her uncle and auntie. (And our daughter was her cousin.)

They got divorced some 5 years ago, and he remarried, but his ex wife still regards us as her SIL and BIL and niece, and their daughter most definitely still regards us as her uncle and auntie and cousin still. Yes the new wife regards us and SIL and BIL and niece, which we are, but that doesn't mean my husband's brother's ex wife and child, aren't still SIL and niece, because they are. We regard each other as family, and always will.

You don't just stop becoming something because a marriage breaks down.

You may as well say that our daughter is no longer entitled to call their daughter 'cousin' anymore? They were close all through childhood and still remain close now. So is the cousin (our niece,) meant to cut ties with the family she has always known, because her mum and dad split up when she was a teenager?
