My grandson calls me nan, nephews and nieces call me by my first name (never Aunt or Aunty), although my close friend's children call me Aunty Val. My OH has nicknamed me Doris, for some unknown reason, and a very close friend always refers to me as Our Val.

my eldest who is 23 has the same name as my youngest sister donna so to save confusion my donna called my sister aunty from the age of 1 yrs old it was very funny as my sister was only 7-8, then is was little donna being my daughter and my sister was big donna, now little donna is bigger than big donna, so now its my donna and your donna lolx
