for me. We have a new family member as of tonight. My nephews wife gave birth to a son, Wesely Reed.

I don't know what that makes me though. A great-uncle?? A great- uncle once removed??? Maybe a God-uncle???

Seriously, what does that make me? Anyone?

If the baby is biologically your nephew's child, then you are a great uncle.

Congratulations to you, Joe. Not only are you a great uncle, but you'll be a great uncle.

I wonder why the term "grand" isn't used for great-uncles/aunts just like the term "grand" is used when referring to great/grand mothers/fathers.

well whatever the reason, I'm glad it's not used for me-it'd make me feel old!

James28 · 05-01-2013, 05:46 PM

Regardless, I personally prefer the term "grand-uncle", or "great-grand-uncle".
