Aunty

But that's because my first name ends with an 'ie', so I think Auntie ___ie looks daft.

Can't remember which I used before I became one

You're not trying to trick us are you OP, and will pop up taking offence at anyone who denotes a blood relation with a special name because it's a breach of human rights, and like, we're all free like, and to be shackled by familial obligations is like such a bummer.
