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

BitOfFunnyBunny · 11/04/2011 23:21

Did you really name change for this sensitive issue? Grin

FabbyChic · 11/04/2011 23:21

AgentZigzag · 11/04/2011 23:22

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.

I am of the same mind as lunatic - Aunty.Auntie looks wrong as the plural of Aunty is Aunties
