I have always called my uncle uncle, even my mum and dad call him uncle. This was as long as when I was a kid. Now, my uncle has a wife and she calls him uncle. Even her sister's/friends/whatever's KIDS call him uncle. But he's my uncle!!! I always found this a bit funny :D What do you think?

    Are you sure his name isn't Uncle? Your uncle Uncle? That would explain a lot.

    The more I say uncle, the weirder it sounds...
    uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle.

    Sounds odd too me too but if everyone cool with it whatever. You sound pretty corky yourself.

    So, essentially, your uncle is like the character, Uncle Grandpa? Uncle Grandpa is EVERYONE's Uncle, yet, he doesn't appear to be anyone's grandpa as he name would suggest.

    It could be his nickname. A bit odd, but if no one minds, okay.

    Hey, it's like Jackie Chan Adventures! : )

    Maybe it's just his nickname?

    It's the same with my mom. "Ninang" means godmother in our country and her sisters, her cousins, her husband (my dad) calls her Ninang. Probably it's just a nickname like what your uncle has.

    I think it's sweet. I was never close to mine. They lived 3000 miles away. They were strangers. . They are gone now.

    Anyway, your uncle must be a pretty special person. Keep him close!!
