Is it inappropriate for children to call their uncles and aunts solely by their first name (similar to how it is inappropriate for children to call their grandparents by their first name)?

I believe it depends on numerous factors, including the relative age difference. I know someone who is older than his uncle by a few months and think it’s perfectly okay that he calls his uncle by his first name alone.
