I am called uncle by my cousin's two kids. Apparently I am great with kids according to her (she's my age as well), so now I get the title uncle. I think it is fine if one is close to the family, but to call everybody uncle or aunt just doesn't cut it. I also call one very good friend my brother since we talk to much and see each other a lot (even more when we were little). Plus that whole family might as well be an extension of ours.
