I never called my aunts and uncles by titles- they were always called by their first names. I did grow up with a lot of respect for elders- my neighbors and friends’ moms were always “Mrs X” and my parents were incredulous when they heard that some of my teachers in sem want to be called by their first names (I still have something holding me back from using them)- but my aunts and uncles always preferred to be called by their first names only. Just as a parent can be mochel on their kavod in any ways, kal vachomer an aunt or uncle, no?
