  • She would be your step-neice.
  • You could just call her your niece. If you want to throw "step" into that, I suppose it's okay. Does she call you "Step-Uncle"?
  • Step Niece? Is it really important, or do you have a close relationship with them? You might drop the "Step" stigma you are placing on her, and simply refer to her as your niece, which won't take too long to get used to. It's better to be surrounded by "family" than with properly pigeonholed individuals. Give the kid a break, and it will pay off for everybody.
  • None, but that doesn't stop you from calling her your niece and her calling you aunt or uncle if you feel that close.
  • Your neice. Or step neice, if you prefer.
  • Thanks for the input, it's just I have a couple step sisters and brothers, and they have a lot of children.
  • To Socity she is your step-neice. But I am sure in your heart she is your neice just like your birth sister's daughter is your neice.
  • If it were me, I would treat her like my niece as long as that was OK with her mother.
  • You are her step aunt. Unless she is being raised to treat you as such then she'll probably not care too much about it. My step son has been raised as a brother to my children, a cousin to my nieces and nephews, and a grandson to my parents. He hasn't made a whole lot of effort to be a part of any of it but....that doesn't change the fact that we have included him in all family things as if he had been born into it. That's how you need to treat your "niece"...as if she were blood related. Being "segregated" is why step families don't seem to work.
