I have several aunts and uncles, but the ones that matter? I just call them by "Auntie" or "Uncle" - my whole family knows who is being referred to when I say that.

I just use their first name. I am pretty sure one aunt gets offended by this.

Same, except BOTH get offended. Too bad for them. I'm 45 years old, I don't call anyone in my family by their title except for my Dad.

It differs from person to person. One I just call Uncle. The others I may attach Uncle or Aunt in front of. One whose name English I was never taught, is referred to as Michelle's mom. :P

It's a combination of the first two, depending on the family member.
All my aunts/uncles on my maternal side I address with their first names only, but my aunts and uncles on my paternal side are all uncle bob and aunt sally, and some of my dad's cousins are uncle bob and aunt sally too.

My dads uncles and aunts played a part in our lives before they passed and for them it was always uncle bob and aunt sally as well.
